Physical Activity

Active Homework is an initiative set-up to increase the physical activity levels of school-going children, thus helping each child reach the national recommendation of 60 mins daily. As part of Dromin School Self-Evaluation we have decided to send home Active Homework Ideas.

From November 18th to December 13th the pupils took part in The Active Break Challenge. We all took a break from school work for 5/10 minutes every day to move. There was a buzz of physical activity for the four weeks as teachers and children undertook some indoor and outdoor activities including GoNoodle Dance Breaks, Bizzy Breaks, mindful walks, yoga and many more.

The Active Committee recorded the active breaks on charts which were displayed in their classrooms. The teachers and pupils enjoyed the challenge and were committed to achieving our goal to increase movement and physical activity throughout the school day.
