Learning Project – to be done throughout the week

The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more about sports and games. Learning may focus on the history of sport, sporting-heroes, physical challenges and performance. ● Sport Genius- Ask your child to research about sporting history and see how many different facts they can find out about sports from the past. Ask them to create their own sporting trivia quiz which they can test out on members of the household. Or place different sporting events from the last 100 years onto a timeline. https://kids.kiddle.co/Sport ● Sporting Heroes- Get your child to select their favourite sporting star. Then they can draw a portrait of them in the style of the famous pop artist Roy Lichtenstein (like the example you can see here) using felt tip pens or paint. Share their creation with their teacher. ● Name that Sport - Get your child to create an orienteering map of your home/garden. At each location, they will need to create a question relating to a sport e.g. Which sport has the most rules? The answers can then be recorded on an orienteering sheet. How about giving them a challenge – can they create an answer that begins with the letter of the next location? Get your child to test it out on a family member. https://www.getoutwiththekids.co.uk/activities/playing-things/orienteering/ ● Beat It! - Begin by getting your child to measure their resting heart rate by counting how many beats in a minute. Then get them to carry out an exercise e.g. running, skipping, star jumps etc. for 3 minutes. Once they have completed this they are to carry out a recovery activity e.g. walking or sitting and see how long it takes for their heart rate to go back to normal. Ask them to repeat this with different recovery exercises to see which is the most effective at getting their heart rate back to normal the quickest. Can they create a way of showing their results? ● Anyone Can Be a Champion! - This activity is all about exploring the diversity of sport. Ask your child to research the history of the Paralympics. Discuss why we have the Paralympics. Get your child to create a poster that presents the importance of the Paralympics and the range of different sports there are. https://www.paralympic.org/ipc/history

The Tour of Britain is a bike race that takes place in numerous different places around England, Scotland and Wales and is a significant event for the sport of cycling. It is the UK’s largest professional cycle race and has been running in its current format since 2004. Prior to this date, the bike race was known as the Milk Race and then the PruTour. However, its history can be traced back to 1945, during which a Victory Cycling Marathon was organised by the British League of Racing Cyclists (BLRC) in order to celebrate the end of the Second World War and the success of the Allied forces.

The Tour of Britain is the biggest event that can be watched for free. Spectators line the roadsides where the tour travels through and watch and cheer the cyclists as they speed past. It is important that spectators stand behind barriers though as the bikes travel incredibly fast and riders do occasionally crash and come off their bikes. Thousands more, in the UK and worldwide, watch on the television and online.

The TeamsEvery year, twenty teams take part from all over the world. Each team has six riders which they pick from their squad. Squads are made up of up to thirty cyclists, so the fastest and most talented cyclist will be chosen to compete. Six British teams took part in the 2018 race: Canyon Eisberg, Great Britain, JLT Condor, Madison Genesis, ONE Pro Cycling and Team Sky.

Each member of the team often has a different but equally important role to play.

The team leader is the rider who is aiming, as is expected, to win the most stages. The team leader needs to be focused and able to motivate and inspire the rest of the team. The sprinter aims to win the fast sprinting parts of the race and is usually the fastest cyclist over a short distance. The climber is a powerful cyclist who has the strength and endurance to ascend the hills and inclines in each stage the fastest. Helpers or ‘domestiques’ are riders who are not there to win for themselves but instead to support the other cyclists in the team to win. This may involve sheltering the leader from the wind, bringing others food and drink and being ready to leap off their own bike to give to the leader if theirs develops a puncture or is faulty. The Route The race commenced on 2nd September 2018 in South Wales, lasted for eight days and finished on 9th September in Central London. Each part of the race

The Tour of Britain 2018

is called a ‘stage’ and each stage is carefully mapped and planned to make it interesting and challenging for the cyclists and spectators alike.

The riders completed each stage in eight different parts of the UK: Carmarthenshire to Newport, Cranbrook to Barnstaple, Bristol, Nuneaton to Royal Leamington Spa, Cockermouth to Whinlatter, Barrow-in-Furness, West Bridgford to Mansfield and finally, arriving in London.

Competitors covered long distances every day, each one ranging from 77km to over 200km, and climbed up to 2,586m per day. In total, the riders covered a distance of 1,140km this year and climbed over twice the height of Mount Everest! The riders needed to be extremely fit, skilful cyclists and most importantly, work well as part of a team in order to succeed.

Did You Know?...Great Britain is the only nation that enters a national team in the Tour of Britain and some of the most successful British cyclists have taken part in the race. Sir Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish, two of the most famous names in the world of cycling, have both entered the Tour of Britain numerous times. Although Sir Bradley Wiggins was the first British man to win the race in 2013, Mark Cavendish has won ten stages in total, making him the most successful competitor to date.

Julian Alaphilippe, a member of the French team Quick-Step Floors, was this year’s winner of the Tour of Britain. He successfully managed to preserve his 17-second lead ahead of Wout Poels (Team Sky).

If you watched the race, you would have seen riders wearing different coloured shirts (called jerseys).• Yellow - This is given to the overall leader of the race so far.

• Blue and white - The one who has gained the most points from each finish wears this.

• White with green spots - The rider who wears this will be referred to as the ‘King of the Mountains’ as they are the rider who has been the best at the hill climb stages.

• Red and green - This is the ‘sprints’ jersey and is given to the rider who has been best at the sprinting parts of the race.

The Tour of Britain Answers

The sprinter

Nothing – it is free

Pupils’ own response, e.g. If I were a helper in a team I would need to support the rest of the team to

help them win. For example, I might protect the leader from the wind so that he can cycle faster. I

might bring the leader food and drink or I might give them my bike if theirs breaks or has a problem.

Pupils’ own response, e.g. If I were a member of a team, I would be a team leader because it says

in the text that you need to be focused and able to motivate and inspire the rest of the team. I am

a member of the cross-country team and I always stay focused while I am running and I support

and encourage my friends to inspire them to keep going even if they are finding it difficult.

Pupils’ own responses, e.g. I would feel very proud of myself because you have to be one of

the best cyclists in your squad to be chosen from a team of 30.

10. Explain in your own words why Mark Cavendish has been more successful than Sir Bradley Wiggins in the Tour of Britain.

Pupils’ own responses, e.g. Although Sir Bradley Wiggins won the Tour of Britain in 2013,

Mark Cavendish has won more stages. He has won ten stages altogether.

Pupils’ own responses, e.g. It is important for competitors to be fit and healthy because the

text says that they have to cycle hundreds of km everyday (and 1,140km overall) and they

have to cycle up several mountains and hills. They also have to cycle very fast to win.
