To celebrate the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2020, United Learning is bringing PE, sport and creative arts departments together to inspire students and staff in schools and central office to take on their own physical challenges across a 20-week period.
The challenges are centred around the figure 2020, whether that be 2,020, 20x20, 200x20 or any other configuration that enables individuals or teams to undertake challenges that will have a positive influence on their physical and mental well-being. Creative arts will bring the Japanese flavour to the challenges by supporting the creation of a commemorative piece that captures the school’s challenges and/or the values of United Learning and the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Following our recent success in winning the ALDI Sports Stickers Competition and having met Tom Hansley the Olympic Gold medallist, we are feeling inspired to set ourselves a whole school 2020 challenge. Two years ago, many staff, children, parents and friends of the school took part in our first Hill View Triathlon raising money for our school minibus.
Following requests for a new Hill View Challenge, we would like you to join us in our Hill View Challenge2020. The Challenge is based on setting a personal physical exercise pledge between now and May. The pledge is based on achieving a total number of active points during the Challenge 2020 period. For this challenge there is no sponsorship needed and is purely based on setting your own personal wellbeing target for a set period of time. The degree of challenge is totally up to you. Please read the information letter below for the finer details however the table below shows you how you can start collecting points for the activites and exercise that you do. Your challenge is to pledge a total number of points for the 4 month period. The school staff are setting their pledges too!
