Fitness Challenge for the Whole Family. 

At the beginning of each month, new fitness activities will be added below and a new 'Active Challenge Calendar' will be given to each child. Please complete as many fitness activities as you can throughout the month and add to the active challenge calendar. 

Instructions are as follows:

•  Pick an active game and play it (if you love a game you can play it again another day).

• Write the name of the game you played onto your active calendar and enter an emotion face to show how it made you feel

• Most importantly - have fun!

Please send in photographs and/or videos of you completing the challenges to k.flanagan@holycrossprimaryschool.co.uk and we can share these throughout the school.
