PHYSICAL EDUCATION - Ministry 4 Sport - Link
We are keen to ensure that children at Woodcroft have the opportunity to access Physical Education whilst the school is closed in accordance with government guidelines. We would like to say a huge thank you to Ministry 4 Sport, a local Physical Education provider based in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, and the PE Passport company who are kindly providing remote home Physical Education instruction for the school via online videos - these can be accessed by all Woodcroft children via the links provided.
Please download the PowerPoint presentations and then press the F5 key in order to play the video.
We believe that this is a fantastic remote way to help children remain fit and healthy during these uncertain times.

You don't need any equipment, just tune in to The Body Coach TV YouTube channel at 9am each morning for a 30-minute, fun workout.
Furthermore, for each year group from Reception to Year 4, we have provided an online booklist of 50 recommended reads.
