Sport @ Birstwith 2021
Autumn Term
Thankfully, we are getting back to normality. The children are taking part in PE sessions twice a week, swimming will soon be back on the agenda and the DAily Mile has been reinstated. These are all vital components to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle and also try and instil some good habits that will remain with the children for the rest of their lives. On top of this, we are trying to organise some competitions and to begin with they will be 'virtual' but as the year progresses we are looking to have regular competitive opportunities with schools around the Harrogate area.
Government guidelines state that children should be active for at least 1 hour a day and I am happy to say most of our children reach this target in school on a daily basis. It is really important that the opportunity to be active at home and at school is met as much as possible and I would encourage you as parents to try and match the time given to further their active time and increase their health benefits for the future.
Below, I will attach some links from our School Partnership which has put together some excellent sporting challenges. There are score sheets to down load and ways to make it easier or harder. Feel free to dip in to them, make them work for you and your child. Have fun and get active. Any questions, or if you would like to run a club at school, feel free to approach me.
