Active and Well-being Week continues…!
HI EVERYONE!!
We had planned to do an Active School Week as part of Our Active Flag this year. Unfortunately, this cannot take place as the schools have closed. We hope to do this next year when we get back to school.
In the meantime, we are extending our Active and Well-being Week from Monday 15th – Wednesday 24th June.
The aim of our Active and Well-being Week is to encourage all children to complete 60 minutes of activity a day and record this onto the Challenge Cards linked below.
We would love to see photos of your Active and Well-being Week activities so that we can display them on Our Active Wall when we get back to school.
When your child completes their 60 minutes a day activity sheet, they will receive a certificate as part of Active and Well-being Week.
Please see lots of our resources below to give you some ideas and inspiration.
We hope that you will all take part and most of all HAVE FUN during Active and Well-being Week!
All the best,
Ms Foster and All the Staff in Charleville N.S.
