As you know ‘Active SCHOOL Week’ takes place every year and is a really enjoyable part of the school year for the children. This year, because of Covid-19 it may not possible for this to go ahead so we are asking you to to participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ challenge instead.
ABOUT the Challenge
We understand that parents are very busy so the challenge is completely voluntary.
The idea of the #ActiveHomeWeek challenge is to:
· Reach out to parents to support the work that is taking place in the school
· Support parents by providing them with ideas and a challenge format to encourage children to build physical activity into their day
· Encourage children to find NEW ways of being physically active that they ENJOY
· Raise awareness about the fact that children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day
To complete the challenge children have to find four different ways of being active every day making sure that this add up to 60 MINUTES, or more. Children are encouraged to try something NEW, have FUN with a family activity and to ENJOY the week!
