Striking a cord!

Kit Heath are pleased to introduce cord as their new addition to the Autumn and Winter 2011 collection. 

The Tumble collection is simplicity at its very best captured by our designers, it includes a silver and gold version of a classic cord bracelet embellished with tumbled pebbles of Kit Heath Sterling silver.

Inspired by the tumbled stones along our Devon coastline, the tumbled silver and gold is incredibly tactile and smooth.

The bracelets are complimented by a necklace and a pair of simple studs which can be worn together for a complete delicate evening look or just on its own for a more casual "Saturday lunch with the ladies" look!

The 18ct gold plated silver bracelet is £55rrp and the silver is £45rrp both are available from all Kit Heath stockists this autumn.

We're a fan of the gold because it makes our diminishing tans appear that little bit more vibrant as the winter evenings draw in! To see more of the Tumble collection please visit our website.

 

We love the sandblasted detail on the middle pebble of this necklace and bracelet!

If neckwear is more your thing, you are a fan of colour and gemstones then the Carve necklace collection could well win you over. 

The cord and silver necklaces come in four different colours/stones; Turquoise, Smokey Quartz, Grey Agate and Blue Lace agate and all are priced at £40rrp. 

All the necklaces have complimentary coloured cords and all clasps and finishings are sterling silver, even the stone is finished off with a silver roundel with the Kit Heath stamp which gives our necklaces the Kit Heath mark of quality our customers are familiar with. 

We love this more casual necklace and see it being worn all day every day. If you want to see more on our cord jewellery you can visit our webite or view our latest newsletter!

What is physical literacy?

Most of us already understand the importance of literacy and numeracy skills. But how many of us understand the term, physical literacy?

Julie Rotchell of Sport Wales explains all...

‘Physical Literacy can be described as the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to maintain physical activity throughout the lifecourse.’

Margaret Whitehead 2010

To explain this, it is useful to use an analogy with literacy...

When a child is learning to read they first learn individual words such as cat, sat and mat. And when a child is learning physical skills, they learn how to run, jump, catch and throw.

Children then put words into sentences and read them; just as they string movement phrases together when performing the long jump, riding a bike or swimming. As we become more experienced, we understand the meaning of books and inspire to gain knowledge and pleasure from reading. This is also the case with physical literacy.

We continue to develop enjoying a wide variety of sports and understand the importance of taking part. We may at times prefer a certain type of book like science fiction or romantic comedy likewise with physical literacy we might enjoy different sports at different stages.

The key point is that we are confident to participate in a variety of sports as we have learned important physical skills from a young age.

The support of parents in helping their children to read and write cannot be underestimated. It is also true in physical literacy. Just as parents (and librarians, teachers and other volunteers) support and listen to their children read, we want the same support of young people as they develop their physical literacy. It might not happen overnight but it's something we're working towards.

Parents can find out how to help support children as young as three on our Play to Learn website. And find out how one Mum is getting her children active.
