This week is Active Week.......we will be having bizzy break, extra PE, learning about healthy eating and there is a walking bus to school everyday.

Did you know that:

• children need at least 60 minutes of being active everyday.
• all adults need at least 30 minutes of moderate activity 5 days a week.
• being active gives you more energy, helps you relax and it's fun too.
• children who are active reduce their risk of ill health as an adult.
