Get fit with your class!

Don't let the Christmas festivities and overindulgence become too much for you all. Remember LGfL have partnered with Tanzii TV to create a series of free short, high-energy workout videos that can easily fit into daily routines and appeal to children from Nursery to Year 6. Whether first thing in the morning, on a mid-lesson break, or at home, you only need access to a screen and a little space.
