I was going to do this 4 years back.. But felt it as crap.

I did JSLA in school as we did our PE GCSE a year early, so we had the time there. TBH we didn't really do much for it. Just like showing different activities and how you'd teach them for a few lessons and fill in a booklet thing to get the award. Nothing special really. Anyone could have done it.

I've opted to do it as it links into my PE coursework. :D

It sounds like a-lot of fun and I'm looking forawrd to it! :)

yeah in JSLA we just did warm ups and circuits etc
we didn't fill in booklets in ours because we didnt have them!

i'm looking forward to CSLA cause we get to teach other years i think :D
