Athletics spreadsheet for saving results and running a competition. KS3 boys ready for immediate use

(0)
This is a spreadsheet I used to create greater interest in athletics with my KS3 boys. Simply fill in your students names and info. and then when they complete an athletics event, their score can be recorded and points are allocated based on their performance. The spreadsheet will add up all their points and rank them so the best all-rounder should accumulate the most points IF they complete all the events. Also, a colour is given to some scores: Bronze, Silver or Gold, utilising the scoring system from the ESAA Award Scheme. These 'medals' are hard to achieve in Year 7 but by year 9 there should be a number of students achieving these scores. This is why it's such a good resource to create interest year after year as students attempt to beat their previous scores/times/distances. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated. Please note, for girl's, the standards are different and would need to be inputted into the spreadsheet.

Fun, creative soccer project book for students to create their own club. Ready to use.

These are two project books that are identical with one being on PDF and the other being on Publisher for your convenience. The whole idea behind this is for students to create their own football club from scratch. It is very design-based with tasks including creating the club badge, designing a kit and drawing the club mascot. There is also a transfer list task which includes adding up the cost of the transfers. www.transfermarkt.co.uk gives up to date values on players should you require them. Other tasks include simply reviewing some kits from the past and giving them the thumbs up or down and picking your first 11 and creating a key to represent them on the football pitch diagram. The final task is drawing a legendary player for their team. There is one blank page for better drawers and a choice of three designs for the less gifted. This could be done all together as a complete project or used sheet by sheet as an extension task or at form time. Any and all feedback gratefully received.

Question sheets 1-7 are best printed out on A3. I always kept a few of these in my classroom as extension tasks or homework. They are designed to encourage students to plan an answer before writing. Q1: Other subjects relevance to PE Q2: Qualities of a successful first aider Q3: Funding an athlete Q4: Unsuitable sponsorship Q5: Effects of fatigue Q6: How exercise affects the c/v system Q7: How correct technique prevents injury Quiz, quiz, trade is a starter and plenary activity where every student has a slip of paper with a questions and its answer on it. They go around the room and ask someone their question. Once they have answered it, the correct answer is given. Then they swap roles. Once the second question has been answered, they trade questions and find someone new. This can continue as long as you wish but allows for lots of people to ask and be asked questions. The plenary at the end is simply the teacher asking the questions again. Everyone should be able to provide an answer! I like to have the class all stand up, they can sit down when they've answered a question correctly. The revision loop is a series of answers with an unrelated question on the bottom. Each student gets one of these slips and has to use their answer to answer someone else's question. Next, two Tarsia jigsaw puzzles. Simply cut out and muddle up and then re-arrange. Lots of ambiguity to promote discussion and problem solving. These resources will save hours of prep. and can be used repeatedly as part of your revision. Any feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.

Is Sport Sexist? Writing to argue task with lots of research activities. Ready for immediate use.

(0)
This is a topic that I would advise be completed over a two lesson period rather than rushed and squeezed into one. In my experience, most of my GCSE classes believe that sport ISN'T sexist because they see top sportswomen representing their country and people like Karren Brady and Delia Smith being influential figures at football clubs. This lesson seeks to redress those beliefs and enable students to apply a more balanced and thorough view. The lesson begins with a Do Now task where the answer is that all the activities are competed by only one gender. The main part of the lesson are a number of tasks to be completed. These can be done on an individual level or in groups. The activities are as follows: Select and retrieve. Students read one of the two articles and select passages of interest and relevance. Spot the difference. Students look at the differences between the genders in two different sports. Mystery Guest. Students name the sportspeople and attempt to explain whether they found it more difficult to name one gender over the other. Gender Equality. To add some balance there are examples of women being treated "equally" in sport, but is it fair? What’s your opinion? Some statements about sports issues that may or not be deemed sexist. Students should formulate an opinion based upon them and be able to explain their thought processes. Why the difference? A number of sports are listed with examples of the differences between them when it comes to gender participation with some questions to answer. Once students have collated some information from their sheets they get into groups with students who have had different sheets and share their info. It's important that they make notes so that they have a broad view of sport as opposed to just their info. sheet. Using these notes, students should then pick out their best points and complete the "writing to argue," worksheet. This should be the tool that enables students to write an essay using their knowledge to support their opinion. This can be done as a homework task if required. Any feedback, positive or developmental, is greatly appreciated.

This is a power point presentation with an attached worksheet. I created it for a couple of reasons: The first being that going through all the information would reinforce learning and also to fill in any gaps in understanding. The second was to allow everyone to have a good set of notes to use as a revision aid, hence the worksheet. My intention was to fly through the presentation, adding contextual information and answering any questions that are raised. This worked well as it limited opportunities for students to fall behind as it was such a fast pace, you couldn't afford to have a chat or day-dream. The presentation is littered with questions for students to answer periodically in order to express their understanding. All questions refer to the pre-release of the AQA exam in 2014 where a local PE teacher was trying to encourage students to take up netball. She was also a player at the local netball club, Westshore. With a little explanation this shouldn't be a problem. This whole revision unit can take anywhere between 1 hour and 3 hours to complete. Elements can be given as homework if required with the power point made available to students. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated whether positive or negative.

This is an ideal activity for form time or even as a lesson starter to come back to over the year with difficult (boys) groups. The Premier League Quiz has approx 50 questions and match-up activities all in rounds of 10 marks to help you keep tabs on scores. You could even do the quiz over a number of days/weeks as there are 6 separate rounds on topics like 'Last Season', and 'Premier league Legends.' All the question slides are visually stimulating with either photographs or information boxes to add context and interest. As an ongoing activity I have included a Premier League prediction sheet that, in conjunction with the powerpoint presentation will allow students to predict what happens in the next season. These sheets can be re-visited periodically to see how accurate they were. A prize could even be awarded for the most accurate. There is also a number of team selector sheets where students can create their own Premier League team. I have included three different formations and left one blank in case they want to create their own formation. Any and all feedback gratefully received. Any questions, please let me know.

These are two game show power-points with 25 questions each on various topics and each worth different points. Students decide which topic and what points value question they wish to go for. Use the arrows to navigate and reveal the answers. The topics are as follows: Board 1: Capitals Top Scorers Trivia Captains Badges Board 2: Twitter Host Cities Famous French Trivia French Phrases The higher the points value, the harder the question so they should be challenging to all. Some of the topics, although related to football and the Euros, require no football knowledge at all making them accessible to all and not just the fanatics looking forward to the tournament. All you (or your representative) need to do is keep score. I would consider having teams who nominate an answer before the reveal. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

It's called the Christmas quiz just because I used it at Christmas with my GCSE class this year. It can be used at any time. The quiz starts with some multiple choice questions related to the GCSE course before getting into some random and often ridiculous questions that are supposed to be for a bit of fun (but often resulted in arguments between teams when completed)! Feedback, good or bad is appreciated.

Euro 2016 Differentiated activity booklet, ideal for form time. All home nations and ready for use.

This is similar to my Rugby World Cup resource but is significantly bigger. I've designed it as an ongoing resource to be returned to every form time for the duration of the Euro tournament. It comes with a powerpoint that has all the participating teams on it. If you play the powerpoint then the images will quickly change. Press "S" and the slideshow will stop on a team. Press "S" again to re-start the slideshow. Using this method, each child can randomly select a team to follow. I did this with my form with a prize if their randomly selected team won the tournament. This team will also feature in their booklet as a research project. The booklet starts with a page about the hosts of the tournament, France. This is a research activity and so access to computers or books will be required. There are two sheets which look identical but this is not the case. One has prompts to assist lower ability students with some French historical characters to research. The next page looks at the history of the tournament and again has a differentiated version for lower ability students. Following on from this is a picture quiz where students have to name the winners of the previous tournaments. Next is a research project where students are asked to design a poster for their previously selected team. There is a differentiated version for lower ability students with a number of prompt questions to help with research. The next three sheets each relate to one of the home nations so that any students who have an allegiance to that nation can still participate. This task is to create a song/rap or chant about their nations success. Again with specific home nations sheets is the next task which is to design their football kit. Next is an art project looking at the work of Robert Delauney, a famous French artist with a particularly bright and vivid style. Students are asked to reproduce his work and this can be extended to adapt a football picture into his style of work and a blank canvas for the truly creative. There follows a focus on four famous players with an attached fact file and a drawing to colour in. Once this is completed there is a blank fact file for students to pick their favourite player and complete accordingly. Finally there is a puzzle page with riddles and a word-search. The answers are on the final sheet. There are a number of ways in which you can run this project: You could compile the workbooks beforehand and hand them out so that they are differentiated to each class members ability. You could hand out each page individually and then compile them at the end. My ideal would be that everyone gets a different sheet so that everyone is doing a different task within the same time frame and then they are compiled at the end. Any feedback, positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.

3 complete lessons on diet and food for GCSE PE including test with homework tasks.

Lesson 1 includes a powerpoint to follow with notes attached giving contextual information. It also comes with a worksheet for lower ability students to follow. Some printing will be required prior to the lesson as students are required to show pictures of food (26 pics are included) and state what food group they're in and later which are the best examples of certain nutrients. Lesson 2 follows a similar plan of powerpoint with teacher notes and worksheet. This lesson is primarily about calories and finishes with a drawing task where students have to draw a previous meal (drawing framework included) and then work out the calorific content. This makes a great display and also allows students to work out what exercise they would need to do to 'burn off' their meal. Lesson 3 is again powerpoint based and deals with food imbalance. This can be a sensitive topic and so should be dealt with carefully. This needs some preparation in terms of bringing some flipchart paper for groupwork and some highlighters. There are a number of articles included about anorexia, obesity and malnutrition that students should highlight. Each one has a colour coded title to allow you to give it to the correct student. It's a traffic light system with Red being the hardest documents to read for the more able student and green the easiest. I have included the food imbalance video which is on the powerpoint separately just in case there are any issues with uploading. Finally, there is a 25 mark GCSE style exam. Any and all feedback, positive or negative, is appreciated.

GCSE PE Components of fitness differentiated lesson, ready for immediate use following printing.

This is a lesson that I did with GCSE PE students in year 9 for a job interview. It was very well received and enabled me to get to the interview stage. Unfortunately, I blew the interview! This lesson is differentiated with students expected to share the information they have so that everyone has the same outcomes. The lesson starts with a "Do Now," task looking at five females and pondering which one is fittest. Obviously it depends on the context, following the lesson they should realise that it depends on which component we are using to decide. This is something to be returned to at the end of the lesson. The powerpoint takes us through the components of fitness and any gaps in knowledge are expected to be discussed and notes made on the worksheet. You'll notice that each sheet has different photographs on it. This is to broaden the horizons of our students so that when they think of an event that requires C/V endurance they have a number of examples. As students work through the powerpoint, completing their worksheet, they will eventually reach the questions in the middle of the sheet. Each sheet has a different set of questions with the first being an easy question, the second, more challenging and the third is the most difficult. Students are encouraged to discuss their questions with their peers, this way, they can't copy answers from others but actually end up answering more questions as they assist one another. We return to the "Do Now." Have opinions changed based upon our new knowledge? It is then revealed that they are all international level athletes in the following sports: 1. High jump. 2. Weight Lifting 3. Rhythmic Gymnastics 4. Marathon 5. Heptathlon Each one of them is very fit depending on which fitness component we are looking at. Students are then given a post-it note on which they must write down their name and which component would be most important for each athlete on the board. Any feedback, positive or negative is greatly appreciated. Should I have a specific, mixed ability class I would consider moving some of the questions around so that students get a sheet specific to their ability.

PE GCSE Revision, 18 hole golf game. Ready for use. Fun way to revise.

This is a great way to revise and my students have always got a great deal of value from it. The powerpoint goes through the rules and scoring system but, for those unfamiliar with golf, it may need a little more explanation. Basically, each hole/question has a par value attached to it (3-5). This how many answers are needed to score par. If they answer too few, this would be represented by a score over par (+) and if they answer over the par score it's represented by a score under par (-). As in golf, the lowest score wins. Example: Hole 1, par 4. How many football teams have won the Premier League? Giving 3 correct answers would score +1 Giving 4 correct answers would score par, 0 Giving 5 answers would score -1 This comes with a teacher's answer sheet to assist with arguments at the end of the game! I have done this in teams, pairs and individually and it works so well. Hope you enjoy. Any feedback, positive or negative is greatly appreciated.

4 x GCSE PE question sheets. Ideal for a starter, extension task or revision.

(0)
Each sheet encourages students to recall information and then use that information to answer a GCSE style question. I have used this successfully with all of my students but I concentrated on my lower attaining students trying to get them to plan their answers rather than just writing what came into their heads. In later revision sessions I used them in conjunction with a stopwatch, timing how long it took students to answer and encouraging them to spend a minute per mark ( a 4 mark question should be completed in 4 minutes). Because there are 4 sheets, each student can work on a different one to their neighbour and although they can share information, they wont be able to directly copy. If possible, please leave feedback, good or bad as it helps with any future resources I provide. Thanks you.

This a booklet that I will use during form time for my Year 7 form throughout the World Cup. They will need to have a team allocated to them and will be expected to research their team and therefore need access to the internet or the library. The majority of this booklet was created by katlee90 and as such any positive comments should be directed to their page also. Some of the pages look as though they have been replicated but there are subtle differences to allow differentiation. Please feel free to comment. Bring it home!
