Active Break Challenge
We took part in Active Break Challenge for the months of November and December both in 2019 and 2020
Each class will take 3 active breaks per day for 4 Weeks
The Active School Committee will keep a close eye to make sure each class remembers to do them.
These active breaks are incorporated into our daily school routine and both classes take at least 3 different active breaks each day, all the year round.

Break Times

Pupils are outside for 15 mins before school starts each day.
We have two daily break, in which children are outside playing in most types of weather. Pupils have access to all parts of the yard, where they have lots of room to run about. For those rainy days, pupils take part in active breaks, exercises, running , dancing etc. Pupils have access to a range of equipment , that they can play with at both breaks. |
