Making Healthy Initiatives within the Extended Day Successful and Popular Extended Services are working in partnership with the Tower Hamlets Primary Care Trust to deliver the Healthy Weight Healthy Lives in Tower Hamlets Strategy (HWHL).Through this strategy over thirty schools have been funded to run Breakfast Clubs and other out of school hours learning activities which promote healthy eating and physical activity. The Out of School Hours Learning (Study Support) team is offering a two part training and support programme for all schools around promoting, delivering and encouraging healthy eating and physical activity through the extended day. Both parts of the programme will be delivered by Karen Routledge, an external consultant, who has wide experience in providing training and support for schools around out of school hours learning, healthy eating and fundraising. • Two half day training events on 12 TH February that will look at food options, practical ideas and how to implement them, funding streams and activities linked to the National Healthy Schools Programme. Each school attending will receive a ‘Healthy Easy options for Breakfast and After School Clubs Cookery Book’. There will also be ‘hands on’ activities with a professional chef. The training event is aimed at staff members who deliver healthy extended day activities and programmes in their schools. The morning session is open to primary and special schools and the afternoon session to secondary schools. • One to one school-based workshops offered during March 2009 which will allow colleagues to work through school specific issues in relation to the delivery of healthy initiatives through the extended day, look at ways of adapting ideas to work in their schools, consider additional funding and complete a Healthy Weight Healthy Lives Forward Plan. To book a place on the training event, a school-based workshop or both please complete and return the faxback attached to this bulletin as an appendix by Friday 30th January. Please note that places on the training and workshops are limited and priority will be given to schools involved in the HWHL programme and remaining places allocated on a first come first served basis.

BOCCIA LEAGUE 2009 Dear All Please find attached information and entry from on a new London wide Inter School Boccia league that SLDSP have gained money from ‘Help a London Child’s’ - Free Sport For All programme and Disability Sports Events DSE, to run throughout 2009. This league is going to be run on a round robin basis with teams, based around each of the 5 pro-active partnerships from January to May 2009, with a final for the top team from each pool in June/July 2009. It will be run on a very simple basis where each team will be given x2 (x3 max) fixtures to be carried out each 1/2 term, one home and one away, at their own convenience. A fixtures table and all contact details will be sent after the closing date, with the league's fixtures table. Also attached is the layout of a boccia court. The minimum requirements for participation are a marked out clear area of 10m long x 6m wide, a short badminton court. If you can mark the triangle on playing area and seating areas then that’s great but if not then no problem, you just need the outside area marked by lines, cones or tape. • The competition is specifically aimed at those competitors with more severe impairments and must only involve players with severe learning disabilities or physical impairments or profound and multiple impairments • This format and rules structure mirrors those used for the London Youth Games Boccia, as many of the players will be considered for borough teams in LYG 09. If you would like to enter this league please return the attached entry form before the CLOSING DATE 12th DECEMBER 2008. League fixtures and contact details will then be sent out over the Christmas holiday, to be ready for you when you return to school in the new year. If you would like any further information please drop me a line. Thanks Glyn Newberry glyn.newberry@southwark.gov.uk 07770 728 204
