School Sports Week 22.06 - 26.06

National School Sport Week 2020 - At Home - Wood Green Academy
It is National School Sport Week beginning on Saturday 20th June! 
We have taken this as our theme of the week and can't wait to see some lovely photos of your exercises, games or active activities! 
 
Lets take this opportunity to appreciate the importance of our health and what we can do to stay healthy :) 
Here is the link to the Youth Sports Trust who are running this years Nation School Sport Week: 
 
 
Here we have some activities and planning provided by the Youth Sport Trust, including games for outside, exercises to work different parts of our bodies and the benefits exercise can have for our physical and mental well being. 
 
Why not give them a go and most importantly have some fun! 
Under normal circumstances we would have been enjoying sports day / family fun day this term. Here is a powerpoint and story that you can share with your children to reminisce and recreate a sports day theme, along with a board game and hot spot picture game...who will win?
So what can we do at home?? Running, climbing, jumping, spinning, throwing, catching, kicking, hopping, squatting, skipping...and I'm sure our children can add to this list as well! 
 
Attached are just some ideas of exercises and activities to do around the house / garden but please feel free to experiment with whatever you want and send us your photos!!
