Run a mile

We have recently introduced the 'Run a mile' into our fitness lessons.  Most year groups now run a mile once or twice a week.  The children can run, run and walk or walk the distance.  They all seem to be really enjoying taking part and challenge themselves to run further each session.  Certainly year 4 complain if they don't think we have given them long enough.
Running regularly is a great way to keep fit  and exercise helps children learn.
We will continue to do this over the summer term, the aim for the children is complete a half marathon distance (13.1 miles) and then a marathon distance (26.2 miles) over the coming weeks.
