Physical Activity: Challenge!

Posted on Friday 01 May 2020 by Mr Wain

On Monday, you may remember I challenged you to complete a physical activity of your choice – one that ensured you were safe, happy and healthy!

There have been some extreme talents on show this week – have a look for yourself!

Well done to these who have challenged me to their toilet roll challenge! They’ve done an absolutely fantastic job!

I’m sure everybody will agree that I certainly have my work cut out! Watch this space…

Another well done is in order – a response to my earlier challenge with 50 jumps on a Pogo stick – some with no hands! Crazy stuff – keep it up!

Watch here!

Keep checking back on our class news page for similar updates!

Keep smiling!

I have decided to create a physical activity challenge.

This is my physical activity – I challenge you to show me how you are keeping active and show me what you’ve got! Email your challenge to oliwain@spherefederation.org

Your challenge can be anything sport related just as long as you are keeping safe, happy and healthy – you can even magpie my challenge if you like!
