Can you design a new sport kit for the school? Try to think of our school colours and what activities we would use it for! You could make a P.E kit, a School Team Kit and even maybe a tracksuit or a hoodie! Let your imagination go wild and then post them on here!

None except they sound very similar.

5. The winning team has their stone closest to the bullseye. | 5. The winning team scores more points than the losing team.

This underwater hockey game was first played in South Africa in the 1960s. The players wear skin-diving equipment, such as masks, flippers, and snorkels, in a swimming pool. With miniature hockey sticks and an ice hockey puck, the players follow all the rules of ice hockey—on the floor of the pool.

Both are team sports played with a stick. To score, an object must be hit into the opposing goal.

FOR A BONUS POINT CAN YOU DRAW A PICTURE SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO?

In modern day Olympics, Women weren’t permitted to compete in gymnastic events until the 1920s!

There is a lot of evidence that a game similar to dodgeball was played in Africa more than 200 years ago. It wasn't a fun, or even entertaining game. As a matter of fact, it was played with rocks instead of rubber balls, and was used to develop the strength and endurance of warriors. Do not try that at home guys!

Swimming became an Olympic sport in 1896.

The Titanic was the first ocean liner to have a swimming pool.

The first ever swimming race was held 2055 years ago in Japan.

Thomas Müller of Germany has the most World Cup goals out of currently active players. He has 10, split between the last two tournaments. He only needs 6 more goals to tie the all-time record of 16 held by fellow German Miroslav Klose.

With 7 appearances, Cameroon has qualified for the World Cup more than other African nation.

A popular rumor holds that India withdrew from the tournament in 1950 as they were not allowed to play barefoot, though this has largely been debunked.

The smallest country (in terms of population) to ever compete in the World Cup will be Iceland this year. They have only 334,000 residents!

Since the beginning, every World Cup has been won by a coach who holds the same nationality as the team they are coaching.

F1 drivers are well-known to be a superstitious bunch and three-time world champion, Sebastian Vettel is no exception. When driving for Red Bull, he revealed that he usually wears lucky coins tucked into the laces of his boots.

In 1971, Alan Shephard and Edgar Mitchell made history when they became the first people to play sport on the moon. The Apollo 14 astronauts participated in what Mitchell later jokingly described as “the first lunar Olympics”. Shephard hit a golf ball while Mitchell threw a makeshift javelin – it was actually a stick they’d used in one of their scientific experiments.
