SPORTS FOR KINDER
I will be posting 1-2 videos a week during this 6 week period on YouTube with fun short (10min) exercises for children to do at home on YouTube.
I know there is heaps of these types of videos on YouTube but if you feel like it will be useful please forward onto your parents.
Thanks and please let me know if you need any help at all with any home learning – happy to share any knowledge and ideas that I have.
