Active Schools Week 2018

Active Schools will take place from Monday 21st – Thursday 24th May.

Every day the children will take part in our 1km walking loop around the school. Along the route there will be active stations where the children will do jumping jacks, frog leaps, squats, burpees, etc.

Gymnastics classes will be held throughout the week – take a look at the photos of Ms Johnson’s 4th class participating on Tuesday
