Physically Active Homework Resource

Activation has been working on a resource for local teachers based around physically active homework. The resource is now complete and accessible via PDF on the below link. The resource aligns with the approximate 40 weeks in a school year and includes 40 suggested activities (one per week) that focus on physical activity or health, are inclusive, and family orientated, that students can do as part of a homework programme. While physical activity is the prominent feature, these activities also encourage more time being spent with the family and offer opportunities for creative learning to occur at home. This will be a great resource for teachers to take, amend to suit their classes and use to help us promote active and healthy lifestyles, and to get more Upper Hutt people, more active, more often.
