|
Activities |
|
Outcomes |
|
Children: |
- List pupils' favourite leisure activities on the board, and ask them to say which ones make use of public facilities. Assess to what extent the most popular activities rely on public provision, eg by investigating the number of facilities provided by the local council authority. Which seem to be the most/least costly to support? Who should pay for these? Pupils should then find out how the local authority raises funding for leisure and what spending priorities there are.
|
|
- identify leisure and sporting activities that require public funding, and know how the local authority pays for these; assess which facilities appear to make the greatest/smallest demands on the public funds and suggest reasons why this is the case
|
|
Points to note |
- Public leisure facilities are not only sports-related but include libraries, museums, open spaces, lakes, etc. These in turn require other facilities, eg provision for wheelchair users, car parks, toilets.
