We enjoyed taking part in the Daily Mile Santa Run today. Every class took part and P5 & P6 went just a wee bit further to the pitch and the Playgroup. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that children aim for 45 minutes of physical activity each day. So the 15 minutes involved in the Daily Mile accounts for one third of that. Doing so alongside classmates provides even more benefits as it allows us to chat and laugh with friends which is also good for us. Plus the event is not a race so it isn't ever about being the first person around the playground or sports field.
Instead, everyone goes at their own pace which also tends to make it more enjoyable.
