January 23, 2012 Categories: Team Building, Uncategorized by 0 Comments

The three schools were mixed up into three groups which they stayed in for the various activities. After introductions we started the day off with a tour of the stadium, including changing rooms, dugout and athletics track.

Each group then went off to do the first activity of the day which was a practical on the athletics track, orienteering around the stadium or team games on the concourse.

After an early lunch everyone then swopped activities twice more before meeting up again in the players Lounge for a final feedback and our goodbyes. Even though the weather was against us and most of the children were a bit wet by the end of the day they all thoroughly enjoyed their experience here at the Cobblers and said that they had all made a new friend.

Olympic Sports with Gateway

Our afternoon group are going to start looking at the Olympics this term in readiness for the games this year.

We started off with getting the two groups to match the photos to the words in our sports matching game. After this we discussed if there were any sports they didn’t recognise and any they weren’t aware were in the games.

They then had to choose one of the sports and do a profile on an Olympic athlete from that sport.

Gateway Orienteering

Today the Gateway group went back into the stadium to do some orienteering. In tewo groups they had to solve clues which then showed them where to find letters. They had ten letters around the stadium to collect and once they had collected them all they came back to the centre and had to work out the word from all the letters. as an extention to this they also had to see how many words they could make from the letters they had, the winning team got 36!

After some free time they were then challenged to build the tallest tower with 15 pieces of A4 paper and 4 straws. Check out the winner below.

New Gateway Group

This week we welcomed a new group of year 7′s from Gateway school.

After brief introductions to the staff (and the dogs) Lee and Elle took them on a tour of the stadium. They each had a camera and Devon took some video on a Flipcam. They were lucky enough to go into the gym and try some of the equipment and take a look in the kit room, changing room and trophy rooms. The first team were training on the pitch with the youth team so they also got to watch that.

After a snack, back at the study centre, they used their photos to make a stadium tour postcard to take back to school with them.
