Wellbeing

During this difficult period there will be times where we will all surely feel the need to switch off, relax or blow off some steam.

Below are some hopefully useful links and suggested activities to support the mental and physical health of yourselves and your children at home.

Physical exercise 

Having some form of physical activity is important for so many reasons. PE is a vital part of the national curriculum and we aim to provide two sessions per week when in school.

During the first lockdown Joe Wicks provided daily workouts that you can access here on his channel. He wil be providing new sessions every day starting on Monday 11th of January. Please try to join in with them, they are a great mental and physical boost.

Below are some further links to workouts that we have used in classrooms during wet days. Again, there are many more available than the few posted her but will send you in the right direction.
