Skill of the Week
Our 'Skill of the Week’ programme encourages children to be as active as they can, whilst developing important physical skills such as jumping, throwing and catching.
Each week we will be sharing a different physical skill and activity. These can be done anywhere - at home, school or in the park, with friends and family!
By practising the skill regularly, children will be able to perform the skill with confidence in lots of activities.
Follow the videos on how to perform the skill correctly, how to correct it if needs be and how to make it easier or harder. We've also got videos of activities that you can perform the skill in to make it more fun!
