Hi everybody,
Hope you are well and had a great active week.  I want to say a big congratulations to Isabel for winning the Design A Cover competition.  Well done Isabel and thanks to all of you who entered.  It was lovely to see how creative and artistic you are.  Once again, I have suggested a timetable for your work this week but you do not have to follow it exactly.  I have also included a checklist so you can tick the work off as you go along. When you have completed your work for the day you can upload it to me on seesaw.  If you have any questions you can ask me on seesaw also.
Looking forward to all seeing all your lovely work!
Ms Cullen

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!! 
Image of Exercise Chart
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!
