Keeping active is an important part of each and every school day at Parkdale. We’d love to encourage children to remain active during the half-term holiday, so are setting a bit of a challenge…

Can you complete at least ten of the 60 second challenges here at the Youth Sport Trust website?  https://www.youthsporttrust.org/school-support/free-resources/60-second-physical-activity-challenges

They’re mostly pretty straightforward and most can be done with out the need for fancy equipment or a big space.

There’s a record sheet to keep track. You can download one or use the one that will be sent home on paper on Friday the 14th. There are house points on offer for any children who bring back a completed one – ten challenges at any level – on the first couple of days back. The real ‘prize’ though will be keeping fit and active and a sense of achievement.

Mrs Rippon is our Creating Active Schools lead and would love to see any photos, either brought in or by email:
