Winter Olympics

[Adam Sibley]

Have you been watching the Winter Olympics at home? what have you thought of the games so far? Are there any winter sports you would like to try your hand at? We want to know.

To get you started here is a piece from this weeks blog:

In British schools as part of PE youngsters get taught track and field events in the summer but in the winter its team sports like Rugby / Football / Hockey and Netball that get taught, I can’t think of many schools that would offer skiing or ice skating. Now I know this is because we don’t have the conditions and these sports can be very expensive to deliver but I think more needs to be done to encourage young people in to winter sports. This can be done through the use of ice-rinks, dry ski-slopes etc. I personally would have loved to have had the chance at school to do Snowboarding.
