Healthy Active Lifestyle Diaries

We aim to promote a Healthy Active lifestyle for the children both in school and at home. Each child takes home a Bronze active lifestyle diary and inside, there are a number of boxes that the children need to mark off when they have completed 30 extra minutes of activity. When the entire diary has been filled in, the children can bring their diary to school and then they will be issued with a badge and their next challenge!

Bronze: 50 hours (100 boxes)

Silver: 75 hours (150 boxes)

Gold: 100 hours (200 boxes)

How active is our school?

Lots of you have been incredibly active over the year! When you complete your diary, bring it straight to Miss Venn. If you have lost your diary, please come and ask for a new one - I have lots!
Well done to you if you have already earned your Bronze. The table below shows you how active each year group is. Well done to Year 4 you are the most active children in the school!
