A sporting chance
Jackie Johnson, 2004
winner of the prestigious Sunday Times PE Teacher of the Year, was awarded the title due to her dedication and achievement in raising the profile of PE at Barnwell School in Stevenage.
“As a Physical Education teacher one of my main aims is to ensure that all young people's experiences of PE are enjoyable and that participation in physical activity contributes to their personal development, health and well-being. Exercise is only part of their development, healthy eating is also essential. Many people, young and old, are not aware of what makes up a good diet and I truly believe that children should be educated from an early age about diet so that they take it with them throughout their adult life.
I have found that California Raisins help to sustain the children's energy levels, so instead of offering oranges at half time in football matches we now give out California Raisins - we have to fight the children off they're so popular!”
