Primary Schools
COVID 19 Exercise from home
We know that this is a challenging time for parents of young children as you are trying to juggle your own work whilst also meeting the needs of your children. Here are some ideas below that are suitable for younger children.
Active Storytime by Marian Rodgers
Active Storytime with Buddy the dog, has been piloted in 6 Clare primary schools this year, with great feedback. During this difficult time, we now want to let Buddy into your homes! We asked on social media if you would like to meet Buddy and you said absolutely, after all, he’s a humans best friend! Be sure to modify activities if your friend has a disability. An example would be where buddy crawls, just wheel around the room! Woof, woof!!
My Fitness Challenge
We have designed a number of challenges for youths aged 4+ years to focus on key fundamental movements. Children can register for free through this link.
Once registered, you will gain access to your challenge book.
