It was all fun in London

Yesterday I headed to London to run a LazyTown Sports Club activity at a School and Church May Fair prior to Sportacus’ arrival.

The children had lots of fun and lots of Sports Candy was eaten.

We were in the process of jumping around when 3 large US military helicopters flew over, blocking our music  with the loud noise from the helicopters. Was that President Obama in the Helicopter as he is visiting the UK ? If so he should have stopped off to join in the fun 🙂

Sportacus* heads to London

Tomorrow I am off to meet lots of Children at St Peter’s Eaton Square School and Church May Fair, 119 Eaton Square, SW1W 9AL. I will be getting the children jumping around with the moves from The LazyTown Sports Club prior to Sportacus’* arrival. The children are in for a great treat with a special performance from Sportacus* and will be able to show him his special moves they have learnt prior to his arrival. This is a not to be missed event, so come on down, jump around with the LazyTown Sports Club powered by FitKid and Sportacus* and have fun at the May Fayre. I have heard there are some fantastic prizes in the raffle. To find out more about running a FitKid and LazyTown Sports Club franchise in your community, please contact me on nicky@fitkid.co.uk We are actively looking for new franchisees to assist us to encourage children to move more while having fun.

Talking when being Silent for #ComicRelief does mean Penalties have to be paid…

Simon is finding out that raising money for a great charity whilst being silent is not actually the easiest thing in the World!

He is now in to the fourth hour of the 12 hour challenge and the penalty charge of star jumps for speaking is starting to hurt a little.

In true FitKid spirit, the penalty for speaking is exercise. So, he gets to raise money while keeping quiet and exercising.

Every time he says something he has to do 10 additional star jump on top of the 10 he had to do the first time he spoke!

He is now up to 50 star jumps the next time he speaks.

That could become hard work by 7pm when he can stop and enjoy the show. We may have to impose financial penalties to make his life easier.

Louie meets Sportacus at Butlins, how cute

 

I just had to share this story with you, on sunday I visted Butlins with my hubbie and two little girls to see the new LazyTown Live Show. We were also visiting with Terese Baskett who is one of my franchisees and is located in Kent. Terese used to be a red coat at Butlins so knew the site very well and she came with her little nephews Louie and Harry.

Louie was so excited about going to Butlins to see the LazyTown Live Show, and had the added a suprise of a special opportunity to meet his favourite superhero Sportacus, he has been telling all his friends at nursery how he met the real sportacus and Stephanie and they both gave him a big hi five. Louie loved the show and said he wants to be like the real sportacus and wants to learn all his superhero moves at LazyTown Sports Club.

We met LazyTown at Butlins

It was an exciting evening for Ellie, Lauren, Louis and Harry as they met Sportacus and Stephanie prior to the Launch of the new LazyTown Live Show at Butlins, Bognor.

The 4 children all attend The LazyTown Sports Club powered by FitKid within their local community and enjoy the opportunity to meet Sportacus and Stephanie. They love the interactive classes and enjoyed jumping around to the music at the LazyTown show at Butlins.

Record breaking day for Karina

Karina has had a record number of children through the LazyTown Sports Club virtual doors yesterday. 

The day started early with her arrival at Sundorne Infants School for a 15 minute Wake Up and Shake Up session.  All 250 children in Reception, Yr 1 and Yr 2 had been told that the ‘LazyTown Lady’ was coming to the school.  She then found out that the Hall had a maximum capacity for about 80.  There was no way that she was going to let any of those children down so… that was 3 back to back Wake Up and Shake Up sessions first thing in the morning and 250 very happy smiley children (what a rush). 

Next she shot (driving very carefully!) to her Nursery session to run her weekly session with 25 little pre-school smiley faces.  Then she traveled to Meole Brace Primary for an after school club with 30 energetic and lively 4-6 yr olds.  In total she motivated over 300 kids to get active with the LazyTown Sports Club…… the challenge is on…. next week she is aiming for more.

To bring Karina to your location in Shropshire, email her at karina@fitkid.co.uk

Calling all parents with young Children in Grimsby

Today I have received a message from Claire Bellamy, who has asked me to pass on the following message to you all –

For all those mummy’s and Daddy’s out there… I took my nephew George to The LazyTown Sports Club session at the Calling all mummHumberston Country Club with Adele, I cannot recommend this highly enough, he had a great time! It kept his attention all the way through which believe me is difficult and he was worn out afterwards, which meant  I had a peaceful afternoon!

He is so excited for next week, so get your kids there! 10am saturday at Esporta, Humberston Country Club, Grimsby. For more details, please email adele@fitkid.co.uk

Karina receives further fantastic reviews on her LazyTown Sports Club Classes

I had to tell you all about another proud moment today when I received an email from Karina, my franchisee in Shropshire who is doing fantastic work at a local nursery.

The children at Hillside Nursery attend a weekly LazyTown Sports Club with Karina Davies in Shrewsbury.  Their favourite activity is the Pirate Routine, here are a few photo’s of rowing the pirate boat and sorting the treasure. 

Janet Phillips who is the Manager at Hillside House Nursery quoted “‘Karina has been coming to Hillside House Nursery in Shrewsbury since October 2010 to deliver an hour’s activity session with the LazyTown Sports Club.  I have always encouraged a huge sense of fun at Hillside and we have been delighted by the reaction from our Pre-School children week on week, they absolutely love the activity.  The enthusiasm that Karina puts into every session is infectious, and I watch every child leaping around the room with huge smiles on their faces. Not only are they having an opportunity to get active and exercise during the session, Karina also includes a health related message from Sportacus every week which the children can colour in and keep.  I would highly recommend that pre-school providers in Shrewsbury make contact with Karina to book these sessions.  I wish Karina every success for the future of FitKid Shrewsbury, the commitment that Karina is making to increase the activity levels of children is commendable.’

Karina also attends other Nurseries in Shrewsbury and is actively looking for more sessions.  If you work at a Nursery in Shrewsbury or your child attends one, please ask the owner/manager get in contact.  Karina is happy to offer a free session for any nursery who enquires about the sessions.  Karina can be contacted on karina@fitkid.co.uk or 08445 6060432.
