Keeping Active in 2nd Class!

4th Dec 2020

We’ve all spent quite a lot of time stuck indoors recently – this can have a negative affect on both our physical and mental health. In 2nd Class, however, we are trying to think of ways to combat these problems. We have made a list of things we can do to keep moving – at school, at home and out and about!

Keeping Active at School

  • Go Noodle Website/App – dance activities between lessons
  • Classroom exercise – jogging on the spot, star jumps, Simon Says, Deir Ó’ Grádaigh, etc.
  • PE – 1 hour per week

Keeping Active at Home

  • Don’t stay in one place for too long!
  • Create games with your siblings
  • Dance to your favourite music
  • Create a play or a show with your siblings
  • Pretend you have your own TV show
  • Create a treasure hunt or play ‘hot and cold’
  • Help out with household chores

Out and About

  • Go for a walk on the beach or in the park
  • Organise to meet friends somewhere safe to play football, ‘the floor is lava’, race or complete obstacle courses
  • Go for a cycle with your family
