Race to Health at Home – Where the Wild Things Are (11 to 24 May 2020)
Race to Health is an award winning online physical activity challenge that can help encourage physical activity at home for children and their families. Normally run over five weeks during summer term, we’ve made some adaptations for 2020 so that, in addition to remaining suitable for children of key workers attending school, pupils and families who are home learning can take part. These adaptions include:
This year’s race route follows Max’s magical journey from his bedroom in Maurice Sendak’s classic Where the Wild Things Are. Each minute of physical activity pupils and their families do will be converted into miles and contribute to their class and your whole school’s total, helping Max get back in time for his supper whilst it’s still hot!
