COVID-19 Educational Resources – To support explain the pandemic and COVID-19 to your child
We are extremely aware that should your child be off of school – physical activity is essential in keeping well and healthy.
GoNoodle: Obviously nothing is going to be a full replacement for good, old-fashioned fresh air and time outside. But if the weather isn’t cooperating with your social distancing plans and is forcing you to stay inside, give GoNoodle a shot. Recommended by teachers who use it in their own classrooms, GoNoodle is a great resource for getting kids up and moving with fun, colourful, musical games and activities.
