Physical activity

We are recommending children to continue with physical activity whilst they are off school. The Body Coach (Joe Wicks) has lots of workout videos on his YouTube channel – a section specifically for children’s workouts at home. Next week (starting 23.03.2010) he will be holding live P.E classes on his YouTube channel aimed at children every morning starting at 9am.

‘It’s a 30 minute session for little kids right up to secondary school to get involved and have fun. We’re going to be doing loads of basic exercises, you don’t need a lot of room.’

• You can access his YouTube channel at – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ
