St Phillip's Sports Day.
St Phillips Sport Day
At the start of the day, I got to St Phillips earlier than the time set so I could get all the equipment I needed and set my stations up, this being the 'Relay Run', this beiong 4 seperate lines of a different colour so the children knew what line was theres, there was also a ball and a hockey stick at then start of each line.
After setting my station up I made sure that others sections were also set up and then we were called in for a briefing from MR Scarborough, the pupils all then turned up and were sorted into groups and split. I first met with my year 6 helpers, there was three of them, I delegated them jobs, this being, score keeper, checking that no one was cheating and the other was keeping everyone in order whilst I also help cover all areas with them.
After the first group I got into the hang of things, explaning demonstrating etc.
The only challenges I faced really, was the odd numbers in each group, I had some houses with 8 in one team, 6 in another and 5 in the others. This taking time to organise who was going twice or three times.
I did really enjoy it as it took me out of my comfort zone be dealing with large numbers and running my own session, it built on my confidence and allowed me to notice I could run a session on my own with all ages of children. Whilst I was talking to the children, I made sure I didnt stand all the way up as the kids may find it intimidating as I am bigger than them, so I knelt down so I was speaking direct from their level, I spoke clearly adn loyud enough to be heard so they understood what I was saying to them, this preventing any confusion in what to do and this saved time.
I also made sure that the kids were all supporting their own teams and also that of the others, they all seemed competitive.

Focus of the session:
The main aim of the day is to get more people invovled with Football, Basketball and a sport that many may not have played, Handball.

My BANES Cross Country Contribution
I think that the Cross Country event ran very well as the races were started on time, and they stuck to the route which was set out by the Marshalls, this being other colleagues and me myself, I was the first person the runners would have seen on the course as I was on the first bend, I told the runners to follow the curve and run around the rugby posts and down towards the trees where they had to run around.
I think That I done my own job well as no runners took the inside of the course even though some decided to argue against it, I help my ground and did not argue back (despite how hard it was to resist).
After the event was finished, I felt very satisfied and happy with how everything had went, despite the moaning participants and extreme weather conditions!
I would recommend the following that the group could improve on;

After the event was finished, I felt very satisfied and happy with how everything had went, despite the moaning participants and extreme weather conditions!
I would recommend the following that the group could improve on;
- Communication (a messenger that can go around the course and tell people when the races are finished.
- More help getting things set up, as the setting up was a rush.
- Having something written on the participants shirts to let us know what School and year they are in, to identify and hand out the correct tickets to show their position.

Self evaluation - Coaching
Self evaluation
Before starting my sessions, I made sure I was dressed appropriately, wearing a Sports leader T-shirt, shorts and trainers, this shows to the pupils that I wanted and was ready to coach them instead of turning up in jeans and a shirt not looking bothered or sporty at all.
I was set with explaining the Olympic value 'RESPECT', this is a very important value for sport as this makes the sport fun and competitive, it also allows others to get involved in the sport without feeling left out or unwelcome. I made sure that i explained the rules which consisting of; when the ball goes off the pitch instead of throwing you kick and Goalkeepers were not allowed to use their hands. Some didn't like it but they had to be respectful and follow the rules I had set.
When I was explaining everything and getting the group into teams, teh pupils listened to me and did not mess around, they were either polite and well mannered or I had seemed friendly and they decided to respect me whilst I was talking, I also started the session quickly to prevent the pupils from getting bored, which would then cause them to talk and mess around with equipment.
When talking to the pupils, I ensured I spoke clearly and politely to them whilst acting friendly, this meant that they would not see me as a nasty person which allows myself to look approachable if I asked them somethign or if they asked me something.
When asking questions I made sure that I explained what the question was about and then ask a direct question to the group so they know how to answer the question, for example; Respect is very important for sports because it welcomes people to the sport, but what does it mean overall (General and specific to the sporting world).
Before the lesson began, I felt pretty nervous because I have not coached for a while but as the groups were coming and going I felt my confidence grow the activities became much easier to explain and get through it without any porblems, all ran smoothly.
Throughout the whole hour of coaching, none of the pupils were nasty to others, over talking people, or hitting ot kicking others. This was why I had a tough decision of who to pick to give a certificate for respecting others.
Overall, I think the session went very well as the acticities ran smoothly and the children seemed to enjoy themselves which was evry satisfying. I also believe I spoke clearly which enable the children to understand what I was saying first time and knew exactly what to do and what the rules are.
The areas I think I could improve on is being more confident as the start of the sessions, because the first group will then be able to get into the lesson immediately and enjoy themselves, I will also plan different varieties of activities as I believe that the children sometimes get bored of doing football all the time, all the boys like to play football but some of the girls within the groups didn't really want to play.
