Stay Active at Home
Even though we are staying at home, it is still really important to try to keep moving and stay active. I'm sure lots of you are missing your usual activities, like football, rugby, dance and gymnastics, but there is lots we can do at home to keep our bodies moving too.
Keeping active is so important for many reasons. It keeps our bodies fit and strong, it helps us concentrate on our learning and, maybe most importantly of all at the moment, it helps us feel happy!
We should still try to be active for at least 60 minutes a day. There are lots of ways we can do this. We can leave our homes - safely and staying 2 metres away from other people who don't live with us at all times - once a day to get some exercise.
You could:
- Go for a walk or a jog with your family
- Go out on your bike or scooter
If you can't go outside, there are still lots of ways to stay fit and active indoors. Have a look at some of the ideas and useful links below.
Don't forget to share pictures with your class teacher of how you are keeping active whilst you are staying at home, and have fun!
