• Why do some children do so well and others fail?
• How do we keep our pupils in the most receptive state for
learning?
• We teach children what to learn but do
we teach children How To Learn?
• Do we use different teaching styles to suit different learning
methods?
• How might we use the sports hall to reinforce curricular skills?

The Future…
• The belief is that we now live in an intelligence economy, not a knowledge
economy.
• It is how well people can think, solve problems, communicate and work in
teams that are more important than simply how much you know.
• We must provide opportunities for developing children’s Thinking Skills &
Personal Capabilities
• If we do not act, the obesity epidemic will continue, helping to fuel the
looming health-care crisis and lowering the quality of educational
achievement of our children.
•
There is abundant evidence that regular physical activity benefits the brains
and bodies of school-aged children.
