Active HOME Week 2020

National ‘Active SCHOOL Week’ takes place at the end of April/beginning of May every year and is a really enjoyable part of the school year for many children.

This year, because of COVID-19, it is not possible for this to go ahead, but you can still participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge instead!🎉


As we are giving suggested curriculur work only on Thursday (7th May) and Friday (8th May) this week, we are encouraging you to take part in the ‘Active HOME Week’ Challenge (4th May - 10th May) this week as well!!

Exercising with your family is a great way to use some of this time that you're not in school! The challenge is: every day you try to complete four activities, which adds up to 60 minutes (or more) of physical activity a day!

Here is the chart that can be filled in, but you could just draw your own in your copy!
