How to keep your children active during virtual learning weeks!

Are you worried that your children are leading sedentary lives and staying at home and missing out on play during break times? Are you worried that this may reduce their physical activity throughout the day?

The UAE Government school’s proposed home-teaching programme called Learn from Afar could be an example of this.
