The Cheshire Jets is sponsored by Carlyle Finance, one of the leading independent motor finance organisations in the UK, offering loan advice to finance a car, as well as providing quality car finance deals. Carlyle Finance is excited to be able to sponsor The Cheshire Jets and supports their charity, The Jets Foundation. One of their many programs is built around educating young people about healthy living and supporting children with disabilities. On the 2nd March, the focus was about why it is important to be fit, the benefits of a balanced diet through healthy eating and the implications of smoking. The idea is to present a role model to demonstrate to the children the benefits of healthy living, and involving them in key basketball skills.
The children were split into four groups, each group being presented with different teachings about healthy living. The Jets and Carlyle Finance made the lessons as fun as possible by using objects to convey messages, including a Tar Jar to show how much tar a smoker typically creates in their bodies over one year, a beach ball to pass around with questions to inspire thinking about how to be healthy, and of course, basketballs to get the children involved in the sport.
Rachel Sharp, Marketing Executive at Carlyle Finance says, ?The day was very fulfilling. The children were a smart bunch, and although they already had a good idea about what healthy living requires, it was great to see them inspired by James, screaming ?I?m never going to smoke!? The children seemed so keen to join in with the activities, which is extremely positive. I think it?s very important to teach children about healthy living from an early age so that they know to make wise decisions later on?.
Having now visited over 100 schools, look out for the Cheshire Jets and Carlyle Finance as they could be coming to a school near you!

I think bowling is a great activity for kids. It's an activity most kids can do even if they have some physical challenges to deal with.
All three of my children started bowling when they were fairly young. My oldest child started when he was six years old. My middle child and youngest child both started when they were five years old.
When I signed my oldest child up for bowling I did it because I wanted him to have a fun activity to be involved in with kids his own age. He had already tried playing t-ball baseball and didn't like it; and he didn't like boy scouts either. Bowling was the only other activity available in our area. And because my son was very shy I wanted to get him out with other kids in a fun social setting. Bowling seemed like a good way to do that. It was reasonable and bowling was only done once a week so I didn't think my son would find it overwhelming.
He loved bowling. He started out by bowling with "bumpers" on the lanes. Bumpers prevented the bowling ball from going in the gutter so every child was assured of knocking at least a few pins down. This prevented the kids from getting discouraged and quitting. At the same time, the kids had coaches that taught them how to bowl properly. There were "bowler of the month" awards given to a child in each league every month. To be a bowler of the month a child had to be working hard to improve and be encouraging to his or her fellow bowlers.
In addition to awards there were parties for Halloween and Christmas. On top of that, whenever each child reach a milestone score in a bowling game (such as his or her first 100, 125, 150 game or 200 series) a patch was given to the child. I spent many hours sewing the patches my kids received on to their bowling shirts. Sewing those patches on was definitely a labor of love because I hate to sew! Then, at the end of each year, bowling trophies were awarded (or dust collectors as my husband likes to call them).
All three of my children bowled competitively until they completed high school. Besides bowling being a fun activity for them they learned a lot about dedication, teamwork, perseverance, dealing with disappointment, and learning how to deal graciously with success. And there were monetary rewards for all of them too because they were each awarded college scholarship money from tournaments they participated in andor from bowling associations they were active in.
My children all still enjoy bowling. Both my sons are out of college and bowl as a fun social activity. My daughter is in college and is a member of her college's bowling team. She's still.
