Bringing exercise into primary school lessons

Bringing more physical activity into lessons and teaching can help us to get children back on track this year, says year 4 teacher Niamh Hunter

The 2020/21 pupil cohort is becoming more familiar with learning in class bubbles as schools continue to navigate their way through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Since March 8, some children have settled in well and are starting to make progress. There are others though who need a little more support to catch up with the learning they have missed.

With virus transmission rates fluctuating in many parts of the country, schools are continuing to focus on supporting their pupils, while managing social distancing requirements to reduce the chances of infection. Contingency plans are being put in place too, so that learning can continue from home in the event that cases are identified and pupils are required to self-isolate.
