Active Homework Chart.

​

Active Homework is given on P.E. days. Children are asked to participate in 10-15 minutes activity, daily, outside of school hours.

 

Active Homework is an initiative set up to increase the physical activity levels of school going children, thus helping each child reach the national recommendation of 60mins daily.
