Our mini marathon! Well done Children!!
17 Oct 2022
Good morning,
We are pleased to say that the children finished the Mini Marathon, they all did amazingly well - what an accomplishment!! The badges were given out to the children in Collective Workship on Friday, they should all wear them with pride!
Thank you
This week in school, we are all going to be taking part in a Mini Marathon!
The TCS Mini London Marathon in schools challenge is for all children to run, jog or walk 2.6 miles by Friday 21st October. This has been run in line with the London Marathon which took place on the 2nd of October.
We have decided to spread the 2.6 miles over the 5 days of this week, and so the children will be covering just over half a mile each day.
Last year, more than 500 000 children joined in this initiative with schools from every region of the UK joining in the fun. This year, we wanted to join in too, so that we can feel the benefits of being active and healthy. We know that regular exercise has a positive impact on children's physical health and mental wellbeing and can help start a habit that stays with them for the rest of their lives.
All children who complete the 2.6 miles will receive a TCS mini London Marathon pin badge.
We will share some photos with you of the children taking part as the week goes on.
Please can the children have their trainers in school every day this week. Thank you.
