First click - chances are that these areas are the ones that you are doing most of, providing opportunities for young people to MOVE MORE as part of your school sport offer and wider health offer.
Your conversations probably centred around – second click - the key is to make these activities inspiring, fun, engaging and the norm and that young people understand why they are doing them. Health and cognitive benefits come when young people are taking part in light and moderate activity. Activity does not need to be vigorous all of the time, but it does need to have variety to be fun to keep young people engaged and wanting to be involved. RED in colour because this is probably when your young people are hot and active, ORANGE is probably when your young people are probably semi active.
But are you actively encouraging young people to SIT LESS? - third click – how are you reducing sedentary activity in the classroom? Was this blue on your timetable? BLUE for typically cold and sedentary. Was this an opportunity to do more? It wasn’t an area that was covered by the 6 questions and we will reflecting more on this in the next module.
Fourth click – it is when young people have opportunities in all three areas that you will be maximising the physical, social and emotional benefits of physical activity, creating healthy learners that leads to progress and achievement and better learners
