PE

As it is the last day of term (and the weather is quite warm!) today you have a choice. Either redo an activity which you found fun and enjoyable from the last term, or, go for a fast walk with a family member.  Try to walk briskly whilst pumping your arms for a good work out. A gentle stroll won't get the heart pumping fast enough!
