Keeping Active at Home
Everyone knows that exercise improves physical health. But perhaps what is less known is the impact it can have on our mental health - this is especially true for children.
Cartwright-Hatton says: "Solitary confinement is not good for human beings, we don't cope with it terribly well - especially children."
Children and young people need to do two types of physical activity each week in order to stay healthy, according to official NHS guidance. This includes aerobic exercise, such as running, as well as exercises to strengthen their muscles and bones.
Here you will find links and resources to enable your children to stay active within the comfort of their own homes and gardens.

PE at Home is an initiative launched by the King Edward School Sports Partnership. Their PE at Home resource cards can be used at home and they allow young people to explore different skills, practice these skills in a fun and competitive way and to develop these skills into other areas of the curriculum. Why not try out the activities on the first 3 of their resource cards.
