classroom benefits
curriculum links
There are a huge number of personal benefits bodyboarding brings to individuals and it can also target some key areas of the curriculum such as looking at forces and how they affect waves. Â Spending time bodyboarding can also provide some unexpected curriculum opportunities, like developing spoken English for example – students can create arguments on how they feel waves are created.
Key Stage 2
Water Safety
Students will learn about the risks and dangers that are present in the surf environment. They will be taught to assess and manage the risk, and how to keep themselves safe.
Forces
Students will be taught about waves. They will learn about the forces that create and maintain the swell, and then what causes it to steepen and break.
Geometry
Students can explore the geometry of the beach and surf, discovering patterns and investigating their causes and direction of movement.
Key Stage 3
Geography
Students can learn all about the natural environment they are in – they can discuss its formation and how natural processes effect it. The weather can also be observed during the session with discussions about its impact on the activity.
Science: Waves
Students will learn about the forces that create and maintain the swell, and then what causes it to steepen and break.
Key Stage 4
GeographyÂ
Human and Physical
Students will understand how human and physical processes interact to influence, and change landscapes, environments and the climate; and how human activity relies on effective functioning of natural systems.
Spoken EnglishÂ
Students will experience using Standard English when the context and audience require it. They will work effectively in groups of different sizes and taking on required roles, including leading and managing discussions, involving others productively, reviewing and summarising, and contributing to meeting goals/deadlines.
Listening to and building on the contributions of others, asking questions to clarify and inform, and challenge courteously when necessary.
