Daily Mile!

As a school we have started to work towards an initiative called the Daily Mile

http://thedailymile.co.uk/

A mile is roughly 4 times around the outside of our school and we have started to work towards this with an initial aim of a mile in a week. We trialed it out last week with one walk around the school and one run. The children loved it although the teachers were a bit puffed!!

Please see this link to the website. They state some of the benefits as;

"It's such a simple yet effective initiative - within a month the children are much fitter, and feel happier and more confident in themselves. By instilling these healthy habits at a young age, we're helping our children to live full and healthy lives."

"Physically active children and young people perform better academically than their inactive peers and those who are most active benefit the most."
