Primary Times chats with UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 using the tournament to inspire children The UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 is set to take place in England in July.

Due to be the biggest European women’s sport event ever, Primary Times caught up with two England Women’s stars; defender Demi Stokes and fellow defender and captian Leah Williamson to ask them about their experience with sports at school and how teachers play an important role in growing a child’s passion.

...has a wealth of treasures to share with primary school pupils. P4

“This summer’s UEFA Women’s EURO tournament is hugely exciting, not least because it’s on home soil. The last two years have been so hard for everyone and so the tournament is an opportunity for us all to enjoy ourselves, inspire one another and see fans and family,” Demi Stokes said.

However, ge‫מּ‬ing to play for England at an event such as this has taken these girls a lot of hard work and determination, which all began during their time in school with the help of their teachers. “Many of us players discovered our love for football at school, so we know first-hand what an important role teachers play when it comes to instilling a passion for the game and developing the skills we need,” Leah Williamson told us.

continued, stating that, “from a ver young age, I was playing football o the estate where I lived in Sunderla - I just loved it. I had a teacher at m primary School, Ian Williamson, and if it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t be a professional football player no He put me through trials and in the boys’ team. He was so supportive and encouraging at every step. My advice for anybody at Primary Scho would be to ask your PE teacher to get together a local team and to fin out what opportunities there are for you in your area. There might b youth clubs that organise games, fo example. One of the most importan things is to believe in yourself and enjoy it. You’d be surprised at how far you can get by trying to make your dreams come true. Things can just snowball and before you know you’re living your dream.”

Football isn’t the only sport that can benefit children though, Leah pointe out the importance of PE in general: “It’s so important to have time for PE in school. Football doesn’t just help u in terms of our fitness, it teaches us some really vital life skills, such as ho to interact with people who are olde and younger than us and how to sha

Wessex Archaeology Loan Boxes E: engagement@ wessexarch.co.uk Social: @wessexarch W: www.wessexarch.co.uk/ education

The Time Borrowers Don’t get stuck in the past, urges heritage educator Sam Fieldhouse.

Fieldhouse. Primary schools can use historic artefacts in so many areas of the curriculum and Wessex Archaeology can help with its Loan Box scheme.

S

eptember 2013 was an exciting time for archaeologists and schools: a revision to the history curriculum emphasised that pupils should be taught about “changes in Britain from the Stone Age to the Iron Age.” The potential was huge. At last young people in schools could benefit from the thousands of artefacts excavated every year across the UK. The question was, how?

Wessex Archaeology is the only archaeology company to offer an artefact loan service to schools, putting archaeology straight into pupils’ hands. Its Loan Box scheme allows schools to borrow historic objects for use in lessons. Each box features a range of real artefacts and replica materials and comes with a handy teacher’s guide. Current themes available include the Stone Age to Iron Age, Romans, Saxons, Medieval and Victorian periods.

The Stone Age to Iron Age topic has strong resonance here in Wiltshire, whose countryside is so richly studded with treasures from that era, enabling us to

4 SUMMER 2022

explore the lives of people in the past. The ancient Wiltshire residents were really not so different to you and I. Physiologically, they were the same as us.

They had the same capacity for creativity, emotion and communication. They made a home in Wiltshire just as we do and they cooked, ate and raised their families in the same land that surrounds us today.

As archaeologists, we preserve the evidence that will enable young people to explore these stories and piece it together for themselves. We can put objects in pupils’ hands and enable them to identify with the experiences of people in the past.

While they do this, those artefacts can support learning aims

which go beyond history and enable children to use archaeology as an exciting stimulus for STEM learning.

Unique features of objects can be compared, their substances analysed and grouped. Artefacts have changed over time and these changes can be observed, recorded, and recreated. The namesake materials of the topic, ‘Stone’ and ‘Iron’, saw incredible changes in this period. Smelting was invented, stone pulled from the earth and changed into weapons and tools – changed through the skill and creativity of those people who preceded us.

Those people have stories to tell.

These stories can be imagined, discussed, and reported on.

We can translate the landscape

around us and identify why they settled in specific places, making best use of natural resources, and changing the landscape, just as we do, to better meet their needs.

Wessex Archaeology delivers an award-winning schools programme and can lend treasure chests of artefacts that let pupils touch the lives, livelihoods and landscapes of people in the past.

It’s an inexpensive hobby too and can be done almost anywhere, whether at home, on an allotment, at your child’s school or even a window box if you don’t have much outdoor space.

When it comes to gardening and school, research from the Royal Horticultural Society - or RHS, as it’s more commonly known - shows that “children perform better at school if they’re involved with gardening and many will develop a greater interest in healthy eating if they get to grow their own veg.” So the benefits go beyond gardening being a simple, fun activity to enjoy outdoors: involving children in producing their own food helps encourage them to eat more healthily too.

Parents looking to get their children into gardening will also find lots of useful information on the RHS website, from suggestions for which varieties of vegetables and edible flowers it’s easiest and best to grow, to mini-projects

to grow at this time of year is the radish, which offers a great introduction to cultivation because it takes as little as four weeks from planting the seeds to harvesting and eating them. Children will quickly see and enjoy the results of their efforts. Not only that, but radishes can be grown throughout the year, with summer, autumn and winter varieties available. The RHS, for example, recommends six varieties: French Breakfast, Scarlet Globe, Sparkler, Mooli, Black Spanish and China Rose.

A visit to a garden centre is also a good to place to start when it comes to finding out what you want to grow and how to grow it, sourcing seeds and seedlings, buying any equipment you need and having a great day out into the bargain.

Located in the old kitchen garden of Cranborne Manor, Cranborne Garden Centre specializes in roses and sells more than three hundred different varieties of the popular flower, but it’s equally well-stocked with hundreds of varieties of other flowers, plants, shrubs and trees

You are not alone!

There might be youth clubs that organ ise games, for example. One of the most important things is to believe in yourself and enjoy it. You’d be surpri sed at how far you can get by trying to make your dreams come true.

Leah hopes these resoures will not just inspire this generation of future footballing stars, but many more to come: “We’d love as many pupils and schools as possible to enjoy the UEFA Women’s EURO this summer.

The Schools Programme is packed full of resources to inspire pupils in the lead-up to the tournament and beyond. It’s so important to inspire the next generation of athletes, so I hope all schools get involved and provide a lasting legacy.”

To help engage children in the tournament a range of free and exciting resources have been created to bring it to life. The UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Schools Programme has been developed and tested by teachers and encourages teamwork, creativity and a love of sport. The activities, which cover subjects including PE, English, Maths, PSHE, Science and Art & Design, can be differentiated for pupils of varied abilities or with SEND and can be used in the classroom or at home.
