This is a project in which partner schools staff engage wiht each other, focusing on teaching strategies and methods related to sport, healthy lifestyles, physical education and outdoor learning to enhance communication skills.

The principal objectives include: encouring children to use physical education, sport and cross curricular outdoor learning as a tool to motivate them to express themselves and be more confident and competent with speaking, reading,  listening and writing. 

 

Objectives: 

All partners will work collaboratively throughout the three years of the project. A comprehensive resource bank and stimulating ideas around the development of language skills will be incorporated into a Language Learning Website.

It has been proven that moving to music (developing hand-eye coordination) prior to the commencement of lessons has a dramatic effect on the brain. With it in mind it is fo sure that the students will enjoy compiling a series of progressive exercises to be uploaded on to a DVD. This resource can then be shared among partners and the wider community. With sports leaders from each partner school leading fellow leading pupils through these exercises there is so much scope for them to also develop their language skills.

Ultimately all pupils will make gains academically and they will gain in confidence. This will prepare them well for future employment.
