Our daily challenge was to go out on our bike or scooter either in the garden or for an exercise outing. It was great to see how many children are keeping fit!
Our daily challenge was to throw a ball in the air and see how many claps you can do before catching it again. We managed up to 12 claps! How many can you do?

To keep our spirits high and our bodies moving….here is a 30 day music challenge for everyone.
Try and find a song that matches the description for each day and dance along to it.
This is just for fun (no need to write them down) and don’t worry if you can’t find a song for every day.
Enjoy!
(This is originally an American challenge, so the words ‘colour’ and ‘favourite’ are spelled differently)

The children have been invited to take part in competition to design the T-shirt that will be worn by competitiors in the Junior Great North Run this year. I have asked for a teacher in your childs year group to send you a Marvellous Me that contains a PDF with all the details. To enter please take a photo of your childs design and email it to the appropriate year group. Good luck.
Joe Wicks PE lessons have been so popular with our pupils, and with pupils all over the world. We know that keeping active is especially important at the moment, and maintaining physical health keeps our body healthy, as well as giving the ‘feel good factor’.
Mental wellbeing is as important to us as our physical health, particularly in recent times. So try taking 5 minutes out of a busy, or tiring day to practise 5 minutes of mindfulness – focusing on the present moment. Mindfulness can relax your body and mind, creating a feeling of calm.
Have a go with Tai chi – you can practise outdoors or indoors.
You’ll soon pick it up, and it could become as much a part of your daily routine as… brushing your teeth! Our pupils thoroughly enjoyed it when Ilona, a local Tai chi instructor, gave us lessons during Health and Wellbeing Week.
