PACE
Last week two staff members attended PACE Training and as part of this it showed easy ways to increase exercise in a school environment. If you see some energetic students in our playground it's most likely our way of increasing physical activity time for all students aiming to get heart rates up to increase health and movement. Our aim is to add in movement sessions in the morning, recess, lunch for all our students.
Regular exercise has lots of health benefits for children and young people, such as:
*improving fitness
*increasing concentration
*improving academic scores
*building a stronger heart, bones and healthier muscles
*encouraging healthy growth and development
*improving self-esteem
*improving posture and balance
*lowering stress
*encouraging a better night's sleep
