Dear Parents and Carers,

Within the school day we have a daily fitness time in addition to PE. This lasts about 15 minutes.

The way it will work here at Langley is as follows;

1. Every day the children will be taken out onto the playground to take part in the activity with the other children in their year group.
2. The activity will last 15 minutes.
3. The children will not change so will need to wear shoes suitable for being on the playground. They do not need special shoes as they run about at playtime anyway!
4. The activity will go ahead unless it is pouring with rain so they will need a coat in school. 
5. The teachers will check the playground each day to make sure it is safe to use (for example in winter that it is not slippery).
6. The children will take part in either a running, Skilling or general exercise session. This will vary from day to day.
7. Because of the very different levels of fitness of the children it will not be a competition to see who can run, skip or exercise fastest but a challenge for themselves to improve over time.
8. After the 15 minutes the children will return to class and carry on with their other work.

We have chosen this way of doing it as it will give us the improvement in fitness we are looking for but is something every child can take part in. As such every child will take part.
