For parents, carers and teachers
- Set up your stretching mats at the start of the lesson and use these as the exercise mats for learning cycle one. Have your circuit layout printed ready with circuit station cards, 2 benches and extra mats so they can be put out by students using the diagram at the start of Learning Cycle Two.
