If you are unsure of how to do any of these exercises then take a look at our handy demonstration guide –
Try a few of the challenges each day and ask someone at home to video your efforts! Then email them along with a note of your points to Mrs McGahon – joanna.mcgahon@eastayrshire.org.uk (Please limit videos to 33MB and make sure you have permission from an adult for it to be shared.)
Remember as with everything, do what you can, when you can. Most importantly it’s about having fun!
Let the games begin! #TEAMMC
