Fun Stuff
At the heart of it, whatever your involvement in the sport, sailing is all about having fun. That’s why people do it. There are certainly easier ways to get around these days. But sailings great fun, it’s a challenge, and it requires skill to do. At UKSA, whilst we take our sailing very seriously, we have always been very careful to ensure that its fun as well, which is why when putting together the Gipsy moth Website, we thought we would put together a fun section packed full of fun stuff related to the project.

Time
We have come across a great web page that provides a whole range of clocks. These include digital, analogue and really unusual visual and binary ones. We came across it by chance but it is really excellent, particularly for teaching time and leaving it on a computer screen or interactive board for timed activities. The web page also has links to teaching resources and lesson plans. Many of the clocks have sound and layouts that are good to use with pupils who might have problems reading a normal clock.
