Commonwealth Games training programme

This project will develop learners’ understanding of fitness and knowledge. Learners apply their learning to produce a book, documenting the Commonwealth Games events and suggesting an exercise programme for Glasgow learners who could participate in the 2014 Games. Learners working in small groups (2-3) will present the information in a class book- all ideas will be bound together in one book to provide an overview of Commonwealth Games and a suggested exercise programme.
