Daily Physical Activity

 Daily Physical Activity Action Plan

 Government Guidance published says an overreaching goal would be for children to be doing 60 mins physical activity a day and schools must make up 30 mins of that out of PE hours. It is also something that we at Symondsbury are passionate about in supporting our children to be ready for learning.  Having physically active breaks has proven to help children focus better in class.  At Symondsbury we aim to make it fun and mix up the activities to make it a little more interesting for the children and make more out of it if we can.  We are incorporating not just running and walking through the Daily Mile but also sprint races that incorporate Gross Motor Skills, class-based activity or dance sessions.  In the Summer Term, we all gather together to do the Daily Dance.  This is a perfect way to bring You, Me, Us & Everyone together as we start the day with some exercise and a smile!
