We will explore a number of caves in the Peak District and you will develop your skills in leading groups underground. As part of your leadership you have a responsibility to point out and explain interesting structures and objects. To get you started, have a look at the following 4 fossils found within caves in the Peak District – for each can you: Name the fossil.Explain what it used to be.right240089800right47654900Explain where they were found when they were alive.left209677000left18190800Word Document - Throughout the 2 years we will be climbing and abseiling on rock; jumping off sea cliffs; caving within rock and walking up rocky mountains!!! As an outdoor leader it is important that you can point out interesting facts about the environment to your participants. To help develop your knowledge please research the following types of rock and say how they were formed:Igneous rocksSedimentary rocksMetamorphic rocksNow say which type of rock the following are:GraniteLimestoneSlateLeaflet - Whilst caving underground we are going to see a variety of calcite features but what is calcite and how is it formed? Can you research and find pictures of calcite features that we are likely to see whilst caving?Leaflet - As part of the course you are going to develop your own climbing skills so that you can lead others and teach them how to climb safely. To help develop your knowledge please put together an information leaflet to help a beginner to climb. Click on the video links to help you with this task.Putting a harness on – a climbing knot - technique - Point - As a kayak instructor it is your responsibility to offer support, guidance and coaching to beginners. Put a PowerPoint presentation together which provides pictures / photos / diagrams of the following three strokes and describe the technique for each one:Forward paddle techniqueSweep stroke techniqueStern rudder techniquePower Point – As a mountain leader you need to develop a range of skills to navigate in the hills effectively and you need to be able to describe your location when needed. Research the following skills and using pictures / photos / diagrams explain both skills and highlight how to carry them out. Click on the video links for help:Taking a compass bearing - grid references - – When leading groups mountain biking you need to be able to fix problems whilst out on a trail. A common problem is a rear tyre puncture. Watch the video link and produce an information leaflet explaining how to fix a rear tyre puncture – Point - As part of the course our classrooms will be based in the great outdoors and at outdoor centres. Produce a PowerPoint presentation introducing the following venues that we will use as our classrooms – add a photo or image of each one and try to include one interesting fact:Manvers Lake – Wath-Upon-DearneGiant’s Hole Cave – Peak DistrictCarls Walk Cavern – Peak DistrictStannage Edge – Peak DistrictKinder Scout – EdaleScafel Pike – Lake DistrictSnowden – WalesBen Nevis – ScotlandFoundry Climbing Centre – SheffieldLeaflet - Whilst out in the hills we will see a number of conservation projects. It is important as outdoor leaders that we have knowledge about these projects and minimise as much as possible the impacts to the environment that our activities can have. We also need to educate our participants so that the importance and appreciation of conservation spreads. Click on the link below which provides information about a key project, by Moors for the Futures, called ‘Rewetting’. Read the information contained and watch the video. Then produce a leaflet which summarises the vital work that they are carrying out - & FitnessPersonal fitness analysis – how fit do you think you are? Click on this website and write a description of the following components of fitness; flexibility, strength, muscular endurance, power, aerobic endurance & speed. Then reflect on how often you currently exercise and give yourself a rating for each component out of 5 (e.g. someone who trains on their mountain bike regularly could score cardiovascular fitness 4/5 for example). After you have collated your scores independently research and describe a training method you could use to improve your weakest scores. PowerPoint - Training for outdoor activities doesn’t stop when you can’t get outside, fitness activities can still be undertaken in the comfort of your own home. Watch the following video and select what you think the four most important exercises for climbing. Describe how to perform the exercise and the reasons for your selection - Keeping muscles working at their full range of motion is essential in any outdoor activity. Watch some flexibility sessions on the video link below and then design a flexibility workout that you could deliver to your fellow students on a word document including 6 different stretches. Please make sure you include stretches for all areas of the body and include pictures throughout. guide- climbers need to have good physical fitness, particularly core stability. Watch the video below for ideas and then independently research 4 exercises aimed at strengthening the abdominals. Then produce a beginner’s guide to core stability exercises, including pictures throughout. Poster – Read through the nutritional guidance on the link below and summarise on a poster what the recommended amounts are for each food group and examples of foods on the Eatwell plate. You can use a blank Eatwell plate by clicking here Leaflet - How important is hydration? Read through this article and summarise the key points on a leaflet. Then independently research the hydration requirements for three outdoor activities;half day climbing sessionfull day walkhalf day kayaking session. Include the types of fluids you would recommend including reasons for your selectionsDiet table - How healthy is your diet? Record everything you eat and drink over one day (make sure you weigh what you are eating). Then enter the details onto ‘Calculate my Diet’ link below to find out how many calories you have consumed in a day. does this compare to the recommendations on the Eatwell plate? Highlight two strengths and two areas for improvement.Menu - Are you a menu master? Read through the ?8 tips for healthy eating?slides and challenge yourself to develop a menu for an overnight expedition including a day walk using the principles from?The Eatwell Guide. Include breakfast, lunch, snacks and an evening meal – and don’t forget to include drinks! Some helpful advice for expedition food planning can also be found on this video ‘Ready to Learn’ – Make sure all your work is saved, backed up and in organised folders.Get yourself an A4 folder with dividers. You will be working on more than one task / topic at a time with different teachers so it will pay to be organised. Your folder is a place to save your notes, assignments and handouts.Get yourself an A4 pad – you will be note-making in class and these notes will help you to complete your assignments to the highest standard.Pens! Many of our students use different colours and highlighters to make notes This helps them to plan their work and understand their class notes when they look back over them.Kit for practical classes – a full kit list will be explained during your first week. ................
