Physical Activities for Family Fun
Parents will learn various fun physical activities to do with your child to stay healthy.
At Shuqun Primary School, we aim to promote an active and healthy lifestyle among the students. With adequate support from parents and through a holistic approach, we believe that every child can make healthier choices and lead an active lifestyle. Besides offering at least 120 minutes of physical activities each week through PE lessons, the school also provides healthy meal options with complementary fruit during the children’s recess and lunch time.
Yet our goal of inspiring the children to develop and adopt an active lifestyle cannot be achieved solely by the school’s efforts. Parents play an equally important role to encourage your children to stay active and adopt healthy habits wherever they are, even at home.
We have highlighted the following two websites which contain useful information and ideas on what fun and meaningful physical activities you could enjoy with your children and as a family.
