As part of a programme of activities for 2008 the Gateshead/Whickham School Sport Partnership will be launching an initiative designed to increase activity levels amongst pupils within Key Stage 2.
The key themes of the project will focus on the importance of being physically active, eating properly and generally having a healthy lifestyle. As part of this project, pupils will be provided with the opportunity to try new activities and learn about healthy food choices and lifestyle options.
In recognition of the above, a competition is being launched, challenging children to come up with a name and logo for this initiative.
To find out more about this competition and the prizes on offer please click on the 'continue reading' link below.
Entries will be judged by a panel of senior School Sport Partnership staff and members of Gateshead Councils Sport Development & Physical Activity Unit.
Fantastic prizes are available for schools to win:
1st Place - £100 of physical activity equipment
2nd Place - £50 of physical activity equipment
3rd Place - £25 of physical activity equipment
The deadline for entries is Friday 14th December 2007
