To enter:
1) Think about what you would like your t-shirt to look like.
2) Choose three colours – these are the only colours that you are allowed to use!
3) Use either the template provided, or plain paper, to design your own t-shirt for the Mini and Junior Great North Run.
4) Include your name and school at the bottom of your piece of paper.
5) E-mail a photograph or scan your design and e-mail it to [email protected] by 12pm on Tuesday 19th May 2020.
I will then e-mail them on so that they can be entered into the competition!
The design template is included below if you would like to use it, however you can also use plain paper.
Good luck!
It can be really hard trying to think of different ways to stay active at home, especially as we’re limited to one hour of outdoor exercise time each day.
Tyne and Wear Sports have created a website which has lots of ideas for keeping active; both inside and outside and best of all it’s free!
The website has links to Disney dance routines, free online platforms and lots of other great ideas and resources too.
