Active Home Week
Unfortunately, we will not be in school for our Active School Week this year, so we are asking you all to participate in our Active HOME Week instead. This will encourage all our pupils to increase their daily physical activity and participate in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day.
We are asking you to complete the Active HOME Week challenge chart. This is where your child can record their physical activity every day. *Your child has to engage in at least 60 minutes of physical activity a day to complete this challenge. However, this does not need to be one continuous activity and may be made up of a number of activities throughout the day.
We will use this page to share some of the excellent resources and ideas we have found to help complete the 60 minute a day challenge.

Ideas for active home Week
We would love to see photos of your children participating in Active HOME week activities. If you consent to your child’s photo being published on the Active School Flag section of the school website, please email a photo of your child participating in Active HOME Week. The names of all those who submit photos will be entered into a draw for a small prize and the winner will be chosen at random early next week.
Thank you for all your help and I hope you enjoy participating in Active HOME Week. Don’t forget our Active School motto:
“Help get the Active Flag. We got this in the bag!”
