P.E.:
Remember to try keep as active as possible and have fun.
Try challenge yourself every week to achieve new goals for example how many hurling pick ups in 30 seconds, how many jumping jacks in 30 seconds, soccer keep yuppies in 30 seconds, 10 metre shuttle runs in 1 minute. Track your results and try to progress each day or week. I’d love to see some videos of your attempts.
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 12pm Kilkenny hurler TJ Reid does a brilliant online PE class live on his TJ Reid Health and Fitness Facebook page. The Body Coach also has some great home workouts on YouTube.
Here is a sample timetable to help with the work if you’re struggling to break it up. I would ask that you ensure that your child is getting additional reading in every evening or night if possible too please. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me. This timetable is only a guideline, however feel free to work at pace that suits you and your work schedule.
