This weeks PE Activity is Pirate, a unique and fun game that focuses on coordination and listening skills.
Active Superstars plan, coordinate and prepare fun, energising games for children to participate in during our sports sessions. We like to be as unique as possible and ensure children have fun whilst working hard and learning new skills.
