On Monday 4^th December, we started the twelve days of fitmas challenge. Every day we complete a physical activity in class with ​Rockin’ Reindeer helping out, you might spot him in some of our photos.

The activities encourage physical activity throughout the school day which also helps our mental wellbeing. We record all of our activities on a checklist displayed on our classroom door. So far we have completed Santa dash, Christmas jumper, reindeer run and pass the pudding. It is recommended that we do 60 minutes of physical activity each day, 30 minutes of which is completed in school. We have thoroughly enjoy the start of the twelve days of fitmas challenge and are looking forward to completing the rest of our daily activities throughout December.
