Our families now have access to #realPEathome which is perfect to support you to be active while having fun at home.
Real PE at home includes an online programme which supports families to be active, play and learn together. For children in Key Stage 2, there are carefully selected personal best challenges, skills and games designed for the home and garden.
There are so many benefits to being active, not only to our physical well-being but also to our emotional and mental health, especially in such testing times for all of us. We hope that the ideas help support you and your family to stay fit and healthy in the coming months. Here are the details to access real PE at home:
Wow, the start of another week!! It was great chatting to some of you and answering all of your questions, last week, on Microsoft Teams. Remember, we are available everyday from 10-12pm, to help you. There will be a welcome in the general area and we will also be posting a quiz tomorrow!
