The Daily Mile
Picture
We had started the Daily Mile in school before the sudden closure and the children were really loving this new initiative.  Have a a look at the video below to learn more about the Daily Mile and then we would love if you gave it a go at home too!

So what's the plan: 15 minutes of walking, jogging, skipping at your own pace with a grown up outside! Sin é!(that's it!) 

But run for as much as you can – it’s really good for you, even if it does make you a bit SWEATY.
