• Feel Good February

  Feel Good February 😄
  
  Hello,
  
  Happy 1st February 🌸
  
  There is no disputing that movement is medicine and exercise is an elixir.
  
  Getting into active habits which mean movement is part of your day is key. 🔑
  
  Starting these habits at young age is ideal. ✅
  
  Enter ‘Feel Good February’ where we’re encouraging your child to record their daily active choices. 🗓
  
  They could use a colour code to record type of activity:
  🟪a walk
  🟥 a P.E. at home activity
  🟧 an online workout for kids
  🟨 playing in the garden or yard
  🟩helping in the house e.g. vacuuming or mopping
  🟦working on a skill e.g catching
  
  Shading in the colour each day.
  
  Or use the calendar to record steps taken or distance covered?
  
  🌟 Can your child create a streak of activity?
  🌟🌟Could you join them in their quest?
  
  This activity is inspired by the ‘Sport in Mind’ charity’s REDJan- one of their tag lines is:
  
  ‘Active everyday, your way, to ‘beat the blues away’ 💪
