1. Measure or identify a 1 mile route within your school grounds that is safe for pupils to follow.
2. Time each child completing your 1 mile route.
3. Record your scores using the relevant form below.
4. There will be medals and recognition for children in each local authority with the fastest time.
5. There will be rewards and recognition for the school within the Black Country with the most amount of miles completed.
6. We will also be recording which Local Authority completes the most miles in the ‘Battle of the Black Country’.
   

Equipment:

• Measuring tool to ensure your mile is correct (1609 metres)
• Stop watches to record times

Key steps/actions: Make sure each child completes the challenges in a safe environment. Pupils can complete your mile as many times as they like. Pupils can make progress by reducing the time it takes them to complete the 1 mile route. Keep a record of how many miles you have completed and the fastest time it took you to complete a mile.

Recording your Score: Record times and number of miles for each individual pupil over the length of the competition. Please ensure that times and number of miles are recorded accurately.

Recording your Score: Each event will be timed for 30 secs. Count the number of continuous skips in this time.

Inclusive alternative things to consider:

• Children can step over, rather than jump over the rope.
• The rope can be placed on the floor, children can then jump/step over skipping rope if required.
• If the child is in a wheelchair/ uses a walker: Lie the skipping rope on the floor next to you set a distance appropriate to the child taking part. Encourage them to move, forward to point one and backwards to point two. Record how many times in 30 seconds.
