Active Home Week 2020!!
Dear Parents,
As you know ‘Active SCHOOL Week’ takes place around this time 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 so we are asking you to participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ challenge instead.
ABOUT the Challenge:
The idea of the #ActiveHomeWeek challenge is to:
HOW to Participate:
To complete the challenge, children have to find four different ways of being active every day making sure that this adds up to 60 MINUTES, or more. You will find all of the information that you need below as well as lots of ideas for keeping active. There is a sample timetable that children can fill out each day, if they wish to. Children are encouraged to try something NEW, have FUN with a family activity and to ENJOY the week! Feel free to share pictures and videos of you being active on your Class Dojo Portfolio.
Have a lovely week and stay safe everyone!

Thankfully, having to participate remotely did not dampen our spirits whatsoever and the week was such a success with children from every class getting involved. There were even some parents who joined in on the fun too!! One family also featured on RTE!!!
