using and has been updated since the last Bulletin. If a department is not listed it means they are setting work

directly through the portal. There is a government backed website www.thenational.academy and also the

Physical Challenge:

Mr Farnolle has set another Physical Challenge this week.

This week’s PE challenge is one mile run/walk a day. The aim is to challenge yourself when running/walking

to improve your time with each run. You can do this throughout the summer and it will have a tremendous

impact on your fitness. Studies have shown that running just one mile a day can have many health benefits

such as improved cardiovascular endurance, stronger bones, relieves stress and fun!.

Safety tips

1. Plan a safe running route. 2. Wear correct footwear. 3. Warm-up before starting your run. 4. Stay hydrated. 5. Cool-down after activity
