At Daisyfield Primary School we believe that physical activity is a very important part of our school day. Physical Education (P.E) gives children the opportunity to be active every single day through lessons, playtimes and completing the daily mile. Not only does exercise improve a child’s overall health and fitness but it helps to improve their mental health and cognitive development as well. By doing physical exercise, children are more likely to concentrate and maintain focus in lessons. As well as strengthening muscle and bones, exercise builds confidence, inspires positivity and improves social skills.
