Common mistakes
Some pupils might think they will only be successful if they can achieve all the activities at the most challenging level.
Everybody is different and success is different for everyone. Anyone who tries their best and gives maximum effort should feel successful, regardless of the level of challenge they completed.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Allow pupils to move between activities at their own pace and try to avoid a 'timed circuit' style approach. A suggested set up diagram is provided to ensure safety considerations are maintained as pupils move between activities.
