14 days to go
With 14 days to go until schools re-open for the new academic year; funetics announces it is ready to support the delivery of fundamental movement skills as part of a primary school’s PE.
To help prepare the schools with information, we have 14 key benefits of funetics (fun athletics) to mark each day in the 14 day lead up to the return to school and the pathway to children learning, developing and practising running, jumping and throwing.
To check out each benefit:
- Look on our social media channels – one benefit per day

funetics activity videos
Our funetics activity videos demonstrate parents and children (aged 4-11) taking part in FUN activities based on fundamental core movement skills: running, jumping and throwing.
funetics is a programme that has been designed to reflect the requirements of the National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2. At this time when our children are currently schooling at home, we hope that these video activities will support the need for education to continue at home.
