RESOURCES

Over the years we have developed a selection of resources which are available to schools and community groups. Please see a list of some of our resources below. If you will like to find out about any of the resources below, please contact us.

Out of Africa Campaign

The Out of Africa Campaign project  was funded National Lottery Heritage Fund. As part of the project, Centre Spot with the help of young volunteers have created a  School’s Pack designed for teachers, and packed with activities that suitably link across many strands of the National Curriculum, at Key Stage 2 and 3.

References to the statutory and non statutory requirements of a number of subjects, such as English, Geography, History and PSHE have been made so that aspects of the Out of Africa pack can be easily built into the curriculum planning.

Playground Games

Centre Spot was awarded a Heritage Lottery grant to explore the origins of the playground games children played in the last century. Looking into what games they were, the rules, who played them, and how they were played.

With the help of young volunteers from local primary schools, we have created resources for primary schools in the form of educational workbooks and a DVD that will help bring back playground games into our schools and communities. To get Playground Games for your school or community group, please contact us using contact form.

HEALTHY FUTURES

The Healthy Futures project has been designed especially to work with young people from the ages of 11 to 18, who are at risk of substance abuse, gangs, crime or are otherwise marginalised by the community.

Using sports as an engagement tool, we work with young people in a series of sessions, providing mentoring, sports coaching, teaching problem solving, decision making, team work, and communication skills. The learning resource has been designed with the help of young people, coaches, and experts in the field of education and sports.
