This year, because of Covid-19 it was not possible for Active Schools Week to go ahead in school, so instead, we invited the families of our school to participate in the ‘Active HOME Week’ challenge. This took place on 26th April – 1st May. The idea of the #ActiveHomeWeek challenge was to:

• Reach out to parents/guardians to support the work that is taking place in their school.
• Support parents by providing them with ideas and a challenge format to encourage children to build physical activity into their day.
• Encourage children to find NEW ways of being physically active that they ENJOY.
• Raise awareness about the fact that children need at least 60 minutes of physical activity EVERY day.

We provided Active Home Week ideas for the parents alongside Active Home Week Challenge Charts for the students to fill in. Children were encouraged to try something NEW, have FUN with a family activity and to ENJOY the week! Thankfully the weather remained fine for the week! Here are an array of photos that were sent into us from different classes in the school as well as a sample challenge chart!
