‘I just want to be equal’: female angler takes on elite men-only flyfishing club | Women | The Guardian

What do you see in the photo? What do you think the story is about?

Marina Gibson loves flyfishing and wants to be part of Britain's leading flyfishing club that already has 600 members, but she is not accepted. 

What is flyfishing?

Can you guess why she is not accepted?

The club is 140 years old, King Charles III is patron. Yet the club has a rule that it is for men only.

When Marina asked to join, lots of the members offered her advice.

What advice you you think they offered?

- set up your own club for women

- join a different club for a different sport where women are allowed

- Visit the club in the evening (women are allowed in the evening, but not in the day)

Some were confused and asked why she wanted to join the club in the first place.

How would you respond to each of those suggestions?

Marina said, "I don't want to have to start up a women's only flyfishing club because they won't let us in to their one."

Why not? Wouldn't that be an easy solution?

Marina said, "I don't want to be called a fisherwoman. I don't want to be part of a women's-only fishing club. I just want to be equal."

If not a fisherwoman, what do you think Marina wants to be called? (Marina?)

Since the 1970s women have asked for the rules to be changed at the club but the rules never have been. 

Women are asking why the rule exists; is it because long ago there was an idea that men can take the weekend off for leisure activities but women are expected to stay at home doing housework? 

Is that idea still around today?

When the club president was asked to comment he said.... 

what would you like hear to him say, what do you expect to hear him say?

"The matter is under consideration by the general committee. No decision has been taken. Women can come for any event which is open."

What does he mean? Do you think that's good enough?

What message would you give to the chairman?

Rugby

 

What do you see in the photo? Where do you think it was taken? What is the game? Do you recognise the shirts/ teams?

This photo was taken after the Six Nations Wales v England rugby match last weekend. The photo went viral - why do you think that is?

The photo was shared by Thomas Hal Robson-Kanu who is a former premier league footballer (scoring 30 goals for his club between 2012 and 2016).

Why do you think Thomas shared the photo, what do you think he commented about?

Thomas said, "What a picture! A Welsh win over England would have been great but it's images like this that show the character of rugby."

What does Thomas mean by "the character" of a game?

What do you think is the stereotypical image of a rugby player?

What does masculine mean? Is it ok to be masculine?

Thomas goes on to describe rugby - what words could he use to describe the game?

"Heavy tackles, scrums and intense competition for possession"

What do those words mean in a rugby context?

"Would you believe that's what these players were doing moments before this photo? Rivalries drive competition but at the end of the day, the ability to switch off is just as crucial."

Why does Thomas use the word rivalries for this photo? (you can see by the shirts that the players are on opposing teams)

What does Thomas mean by "the ability to switch off"?

Why does he say that- do you agree? 

Thomas ends by saying "We're all human"

Why does he say that?

We are not told the story behind the photo- what do you think the story is? 

Why do you think the photo went viral? What does it show about men today?

Thomas is from Wales so he would have felt disappointed after the game - why didn't he comment about the way his team played in the match instead?

What can we learn from this photo?

Football v homophobia

 

https://faw.cymru/news/football-v-homophobia-month-of-action-202/

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/footballvhomophobia-month-man-utd-arsenal-32041056

https://www.footballvhomophobia.com/leeds-united-among-winners-at-fvh-awards-in-glasgow/

What do you see in the photo? Do you recognise the language? Can you translate? What are the other clues on the shirt?

February was "Football v homophobia" month.

The picture shows a Welsh T shirt. The Football Association of Wales (FAW) supports Football v Homophobia.

What is homophobia?

What do you think Football versus homophobia is about?

Football v Homophobia works to "Make existing football structures safe, welcoming and inclusive" for LGBT+ people. 

What does this mean?

Do you think football is a welcoming, safe and inclusive place?

Can you name any male gay premier league football players in 2025?

Jake Daniels (Blackpool) is the only premier league footballer currently to speak out and say he is gay. Do you think he is the only one? What's going on here?

February is Football v Homophobia month and last week in Glasgow at an awards ceremony Leeds United won an award for their inclusive work.

Southampton goalie Aaron Ramsdale won an award for allyship.

What do you think allyship is?

Aaron has a gay brother and is very proud of him. Aaron often wears rainbow laces and arm bands to show support for the LGBT+ community. You can see Aaron speak in a video here https://onefootball.com/en/news/aaron-ramsdale-speaks-about-lgbtq-allyship-in-brilliant-video-40372298

Aaron says; "It would be amazing if we could get to a pace where everyone could just relax and be their own self."

What does he mean by that?

"It's important for me to speak up. I think it just came to a point where if I felt something was said that I didn't agree with, rather than just sitting back I wanted to be more like him and have the bravery to say something."

Why is it brave to say something?

"Having a brother who has come out as gay doesn't mean I'm the only one who has to speak out."

What do you think Aaron is asking for here?

Do you think we need Football v homophobia? You could argue football has nothing to do with LGBT... what do you think? What are the different arguments here?

What do we say at our school about LGBT+ people and different families?

Adaptive clothing

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c079zmml2l8o

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c7vdmq253lqo

What do you see in the pictures, who do you think this person is and what are they doing, what do you think this story is about?

Elliot Caswell is a model from Newcastle. He has been trying to make it as a model for 5 years but without success and was about to give up.

Why do you think Elliot was not being chosen by modelling agencies for work?

Elliot has cerebral palsey and uses a wheelchair. Five years ago, Elliot was very shy and didn't feel confident enough to speak to strangers. Today an art director who photographed Elliot for this shoot said he lit up the room with his smile and humour; "When someone has a lot of character, it's instantly easy to photograph because that can come across on set."

What does the art director mean by "Elliot lit up the room?"

Elliot's first modelling job is for Primark and their adaptive clothing range which is for people with disabilities.

What does adaptive mean? How do you think clothing can be adaptive? 

Elliot's mum says when he was young she had to adapt his clothes herself and Elliot says he always had to have help from family, friends and carers to put on his clothes. He says this new range of clothes is life changing.

How do you think this clothing range is different? 

Primark have developed clothing with magnetic zips, poppers, loops that are easy to hold, trousers that have zips on the legs, clothes that are stretchier and easier to get on. 

The second link above has a short film where you can see Elliot talking about the clothes. The designer Victoria Jenkins is wearing a dress with a zip on the side so if you have a stoma, you can empty the stoma bag without taking your clothes off.  Victoria says this is about dignity and modesty. 

What is a stoma bag? 

Why is the zip magnetic, how is  zip life changing?

Why poppers not buttons?

Victoria hopes more clothing brands will make adaptive clothing in the future; "Everyone needs choice, everyone dresses differently, everyone has the right to self expression and that's been denied to many of us for too long."

What does "Everyone has the right to self expression" mean?

Why does Victoria say self expression is denied to some people? Do you agree?

Biggest Ever Football Day

 

https://www.englandfootball.com/articles/2024/Jan/23/Biggest-EVER-Football-Session

What do you see in the picture? What is happening? What do the T-shirts say- what is this about?

On March 7th the "Biggest ever Football Session" is happening in schools across the UK.

What do you think this is?

The Biggest Ever Football Session is about inspiring and empowering the next generation of girl's football. 

It's about inclusivity in sports, showing that girls belong in football. 

The aim is to get as many girls as possible in school all playing football on the same day. 

What does empowered mean?

What does inclusivity mean?

Some people might say if we are being truly inclusive, we should allow boys to play too... what do you think?

Watch this video #LetGirlsPlay- The FA but as it plays, imagine swapping the word girls for the word boys. Does it still make sense if it was about boys? Explain your answer.

Olivia Hancock is a campaigning to end sexism in football.

What is sexism?

Olivia says, "How would you feel if you couldn't do something you love? As a young girl all I wanted to do was kick a football and have fun. While at primary school, I was told that girls don't play football - it's a boys sport. It was later made clear that this seemed to be the case in many schools. When I left primary school in 2027 I was determined that not only should primary schools give  girls equal access to football, they should also have girls football teams. Not all girls are confident enough to play football with boys and I needed to be that powerful female voice for change."

Why do you think some girls are not confident enough to play football with boys?

What is the solution?

Do you think in 2025 we need a "Biggest ever football day" to encourage boys to play the game?

Why/ Why not?

What do we say at our school about gender and football?

Bike

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-berkshire-54259186 

What do you see in the photo? What is happening? There is something different about this mountain biker, can anyone guess what it is?  

Xavier is blind; he has less than 10% eyesight. 

What do you think less than 10% eyesight means for Xavier? What do you think he sees?

After struggling to get a job Xavier decided to pursue his love of biking; he posted videos online and was approached by companies who offered to sponsor him in shows. He now hopes to go professional. 

How do you think Xavier manages to do this with 10% eyesight, what are the challenges? How do you think he overcomes the challenges? 

Xavier talks about how his eyes work differently; he has albinism which means his eyes let too much light in, and he also has nystagmus which causes his eyes to shake. Because of this, Xavier walks each route before using his bike and then remembers turns, jumps and where roots, rocks or branches stick out.  

Do you think Xavier crashes sometimes? What do you think he says about his crashes?

“Sometimes I just have crashes but there’s not much I can do. I’m very committed to the sport; I love what I do, and a few crashes aren’t going to get in my way.” 

Xavier hopes he can encourage others with disabilities to get on their bikes. 

There is a super video link in the link above where Xavier talks about what he sees and how he does the biking. Watch the video and discuss these questions.

·                In the film Xavier tells us about how his eyes are different. How do you think he feels about his eyes? Does he seem sad or upset? Do you think Xavier is proud of who he is? How do you know? 

·                When Xavier started mountain biking, how do you think he felt? 

·                What do you think Xavier’s family said when he told them he wanted to start this new hobby? Why didn’t they stop him? 

·                When he walks each route, how do you think he remembers where everything is? 

·                Do you think he forgets sometimes? What happens then? 

·                How do you think the other mountain biker’s treat Xavier? 

·                “Sometimes I just have crashes but there’s not much I can do” why doesn’t Xavier give up when he crashes? 

·                “a few crashes aren’t going to get in my way.” what does he mean? What kind of person is Xavier? 

·                Why is this a story of hope? 

·                What can we learn from Xavier?  

·                Why is this about No Outsiders?

language

 

https://www.thebulletin.be/train-conductor-faces-formal-complaint-saying-bonjour-flanders

What do you see in the picture? What job does the person in the picture do? What do you think this story could be about?

A train conductor in Belgium received a formal complaint last month because of the language he used to greet passengers when he said "Good morning!".

What do you think happened?

Why might language be a reason for complaint?

Belgium has three official langauges.

Do you know what the official languages spoken in Belgium are?

In Belgium, there are three national languages: French, Dutch and English. In different parts of the country, there are official language rules. 

Why have an official language rule?

This map shows the language zones in Belgium. The top part of Belgium known as Flanders and the bottom half known  as Wallonia. 

What do you notice about the map and the languages spoken?

According to official language rules, conductors on trains must speak in the correct language while their train is in each area, So as a train passes through Flanders, the conductor will say "Good morning!" in Dutch, and while the train is passing through Wallonia, the conductor will say good morning in French.

What do you think this conductor did?

Why would someone complain about that?

After the train left Brussels, the conductor said Good Morning in both French and Dutch. Conductors should only use both French and Dutch when the train in within the Brussels border. If trains are traveling to the airport, conductors can speak in French, Dutch, German and English.

Why do you think this rule exists?

Are borders important?

Is language important?

Do you think the conductor was right to do this?

The train company are backing the conductor and saying there will be no action taken.

Some people are saying the conductor did the right thing but others are saying they disrespected the Dutch language. 

What do you think abut this argument, what are the two sides of the debate?

What do we say about language at our school?

Why is this about No Outsiders?
