Monday 25th May

Hi everybody,

As you may know, this week is usually Active Schools Week in Sacred Heart. We have decided to keep up the momentum with one slight change. This week is Active Home Week!

All of our Seesaw activities this week are active and really fun.

In addition to this the whole school will also be taking part in new challenges each day.

If you take part in any of the challenges this week, we would love to see them. You can post them to Seesaw or Twitter using the hashtag #sacredheartactivehomeweek.

To get you started, here’s a wake-up song and dance to begin with.

I am also adding some nice games that can be played outside during the week using chalk. Chalk Games

I’m sure that you will really enjoy the week!
