Playground specialist shows creativity and imagination to encourage kids to get active


created within national curriculum standards and aims to make physical activity fun and enjoyable for school pupils. Simon Winfield, Director at Red Monkey Play, said: “We are delighted to


be supporting Move it Boom this year, as getting kids active is at the heart of everything we do. Our Red Monkey mascot certainly enjoyed the race and it was a great opportunity to teach the children our new game! Initiatives like Move It Boom are a fantastic way to encourage pupils to keep active and that it’s more than just the lessons that they have at school. We are delighted to be showing our support this year.” The Move It Boom initiative is now in its third year. The website is now live


and pupils can win points for their school by logging their physical activities on the Move it Boom website (www.healthforkids.co.uk/moveitboom). These points will enable the pupils to build and upgrade their own virtual robot. The more activities the pupils log, the more advanced their robot will become, and the more points that will be added to their school’s total. During the last event in 2016, over 47,000 activities were logged from over 200 primary schools across Leicestershire. As an incentive for local schools to get involved, Red Monkey Play has

eicestershire playground and outdoor equipment specialists Red Monkey Play is proud to be supporting the Move It Boom initiative organised by


Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT). To get the event up and running – literally – Red Monkey Play took part in a mascot’s race alongside the Trust’s five other partners. After a warm-up at Leicester’s Town Hall, the Red Monkey mascot headed


to a nearby primary school and took part in some fun activities with the school children, before arriving at The Grove in Braunstone for a celebration event. Encouraging schoolchildren to keep active and express their imagination is


a key part of Red Monkey Play’s ethos. The company has over 20 years’ experience designing and installing playground equipment, all of which is


donated £1,000 worth of wooden playground equipment for the winning school, which will be announced on 6 July. “Our equipment is designed to help pupils express their imaginations and


enables them to build the skills they’ll need for later in life,” Simon explains. “Over the years, we’ve worked with schools of all ages and it’s always such a great reward seeing the difference that the equipment makes to the pupils and the school’s space.”


Move It Boom runs until 29 June.

FREE digital resources for teaching cricket in schools C


hance to Shine, the national cricket charity, have created a powerful bank of free resources for primary schools, so teachers can lead their


own cricket sessions with confidence. Chance to Shine has introduced the game, and its educational benefits,


to more than 3.5 million boys and girls in 14,000 state schools, since 2005. That’s a lot of playing and learning, and along the way we’ve learned a lot about how the game can inspire, engage and develop young people of all abilities. For the first time, we have captured, documented and shared our


learning. We’ve created a powerful bank of FREE digital resources for you and your school. The resources include illustrated lesson plans (designed by the Youth Sports Trust to achieve national curriculum outcomes), demonstrational videos and top tips from international cricketers. As well as providing resources for coaching cricket on the playground,


there are also lesson plans for teaching cricket within the classroom in numeracy and literacy classes. In addition to accessing the free digital resources, teachers will also be


able to ask questions that our professional coaches can answer as well being in with a chance of winning prizes including England player visits, cricket equipment or tickets to international matches.


“I’ve been struggling with Maths, on its own it’s quite boring but adding cricket makes it fun!”
