Welcome back after the Easter break. Whilst the sun is still shining, it’s the perfect time to keep active – whether it’s during a work break or in between home learning activities – there are so many things you can do at home needing very little or even no equipment at all.
We are all encouraged to do about 60 minutes of physical activity each day to help keep us physically and mentally healthy which, during this challenging time, is even more important. So to help encourage children (and adults) to keep active throughout the week, the Sports Partnership have created a weekly activity log to track individual successes each day. Alternatively, the Herts Sports Partnership have created an interactive Family activity tracker which can be used to create a bit of competitiveness at home too! 🙂 (download the trackers below)
Many of you will have tried Joe Wicks’ ‘Daily PE lessons’, but it’s good to vary the activities you do. To help inspire you, here are some websites to check out with lots of great ideas.
