ExerciseIt is important to stay fit and healthy. If you can, spend some time outside each day but if that is not possible, you can always exercise indoors. Remember if you do go outside you must not get too close to other people. Every morning at 9am Joe Wicks will be doing a fitness session on You Tube. Ask your parents if you can join in - we will be in school. |
Lots of things to do...We have adopted the Agora Pledge which says what we will do for you by the time you are 11. At the moment some of these are on hold until we are able to restart our trips. So in the meantime have a look at these: Scouts Association The Great Indoors - there are lots of fun activities you can do at home. Some may take a bit of planning so be patient but maybe you could plan an activity for later in the week when you have tried to get together anything you might need. 50 things to do before you're 11 ¾ - the National Trust have some great ideas of fun things to do. Some may need a garden or open space but some like watching a sunrise (sorry mums and dads!) could be done at home. Little Bins for Little Hands - STEM based activities RSPCA at home - fun activities to make and do
