Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well and keeping the head up!
The first Sustrans at Home activity is now up on YouTube! Using channels created especially for this project, the Schools Team hope that we can help bring variety to the remote learning provision for your pupils and families. Each week, I will post a short video to introduce a learning activity that focuses on being active, staying healthy or active travel. There will be an accompanying PDF that contains instructions for an at-home activity. I will email the video link and the resource to you each Monday. Please consider adding this to your timetable for remote work or share to your colleagues so it can be sent to pupils and families through your normal parent communication apps. If you have any requests for specific topics or themes, please let me know.
How to access and share the resource:
- View the YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21g2fFqWqPc
- Share the video through your parent communication apps and send the activity PDF (attached) as an attachment for download.
- There is also a link to the PDF download in the video description along with the password: ‘sustrans’
Sample Text for your Parent Communications:
Dear Parent.
Our Sustrans Schools’ Officer Dave, who pupils will know from his visits to school, will be sending through a weekly video and learning activity which pupils can do at home. These activities are aimed at keeping active, having fun and learning as part of our schools’ involvement in the Active School Travel programme. Please feel free to watch this video together and use the activity sheet (link under video) whilst learning at home this week. You can show Dave how you’re staying active while staying home by tagging @SustransNI on Facebook or Twitter and using #stayhomestayactive in your posts. Enjoy!

This activity is all about finding your pulse and raising your heart rate. Please view the video and use the worksheet provided to complete the tasks. This activity can be done on your own or with an older brother or sister, or an adult you live with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21g2fFqWqPc
Thank you for everything you are doing to support pupils maintain their learning structures at a distance. Thank you to all of your colleagues that remain in school to care for the children of key workers. And thank you all, for using your school social media and websites to bring such positivity at this strange and unsettled time.
Please let me know if you find these weekly resources useful and if you have a suggestion for a topic or theme for me to tackle, please send it my way.
Warm Regards,
Dave Wiggins.

Schools Officer | South East N.Ireland
