Dear Head Teacher/ P.E.Co-ordinator,

 

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART WORKSHOP

 

DEREHAM, Norfolk : WEDNESDAY 16th OCTOBER 2002

 

I have arranged a workshop to enable interested members of your staff to learn the arts of Jump Rope (skipping) so that pupils can be taught some skills of this very acceptable and worthwhile exercise. To quote schools already involved with the scheme: “The ropes have transformed the lunchtime nightmare into energetic fun” and “The kids just love it!”

 

Our Jump Rope programme has been carefully designed to fit neatly into the National Curriculum, lending itself not only to physical activity but also to general health and ‘how your body works.’ This is a wonderful opportunity to raise funds not only for the British Heart Foundation, but your school also.

 

The Dereham workshop will be held at Dereham Neatherd High School, Norwich Road, Dereham commencing 4.15 p.m. sharp and concluding 6.15.pm.

 

Christopher Brooker, JRFH Co-ordinator, Dept. of Physical Education & Sports Science, Loughborough University will lead the workshop.

 

For those wishing to attend (free of charge and with refreshment provided) please e-mail me, complete the enclosed slip and return it to me at the above address, or telephone 01263 720136. If you need to leave a message on the answerphone, please give your name and school telephone number and I will return your call to confirm your place.

 

Places are limited and to enable as many schools as possible to participate, usually no more than two places can be allocated to any one school.

 

This will be the only workshop in Norfolk this academic year, so please make every effort to attend.

 

 

Yours Sincerely,

 

 

 

 

 

Jack Welham

Area Organiser.

 

 

P.S. There will be a workshop at Halesworth, Suffolk on

 Thursday 17th October. Please ask for details.
