Marathon Kids
This year 5th and 6th class took part in Marathon Kids, while the rest of the school continued on with the Daily Mile. 5th and 6th class worked extremely hard over the course of 8th weeks to improve their fitness and stamina while having lots of fun along the way. Each week, they increased their distance, running a total of 42km over 8 weeks- the length of a marathon. On Friday the 11th of December, the girls completed Marathon kids by running their final mile around the school, wearing their Marathon Kids t-shirts. They all received a lovely medal at the end too. The girls should all be SO proud of themselves. What an amazing achievement!!
Active Break Every Day Challenge
As a school we have pledged to complete an active break everyday for the next 4 weeks. We can choose to run, walk, dance or workout if not all of the above, every day for the next 4 weeks. First class have been super active this week, we love ticking our active challenge chart each day. Today we had lovey weather for our daily mile, everyone did so well!

The Daily Mile Club
Week 2
Some of you are always out cycling, scooting, walking and even running. We want you to track your weekly distance for us!
This is how it will work!
Best of luck!
This week’s winners were: 1st Class.
You have won an extra PE or Yard time voucher for your class to use when we get back to school.
Well done to all the girls who took part this week.
Let’s see who this week’s winner will be!
This is how it will work!
- Start on Monday. Try and run your daily mile. Usually this means running for roughly 10 minutes. If you go for a walk, cycle or run you can track how far you went too. (TIP: A good way of tracking this is to use a Fitbit if you have one, your phone or google maps. I use the Nike Running app. Which is free and you can enter the distance or time you want to walk/run for and it will tell you how far you have gone along the way!)
- Stick a piece of paper to the fridge or somewhere you will remember to find it. Each day write down your total distance in KM or MILES, whatever works best for you.
- Repeat until Friday.
- On Friday add up your distance from Monday to Friday and send it to your teacher!
- Your teacher will add the distances from everyone in your class who has emailed and taken part.
- The winners will be announced on the Active school page every Monday.
Best of luck!

Get Active and Creative
Hi girls,
We hope you are all staying safe and well at home. We wanted to remind you that it is still important to try and get your 60 minutes of exercise each day. You could go for a short walk/cycle, do some jumping jacks in the garden, GoNoodle, or do some Yoga. There are also lots of ideas on this page of activities that you could do to keep active at home. We would love if you could be creative and come up with new ways of keeping fit at home. Here is a very simple example of an outdoor active board game- all you need is some paper, pens/markers and a dice ( you could make one if you don't have one at home). We would love if you could get creative and send some pictures onto mssherwin.stjohnofgodartane@gmail.com or msshaughnessysjog@gmail.com so that we can share them here for others to use!

On Friday’s, we dance!
We have implemented our new yard equipment rota at lunch times. The active school committee have come up with a great idea to bring music to the yard on Fridays and get creative with some free style dance moves. If anyone has song requests don’t forget to pop them in the active school suggestion box!

Yoga Fridays
The girls are loving their yoga practice with Maura.
They derive so many benefits from yoga. Physically, it enhances their flexibility, strength, coordination and body awareness. In addition, it is great for concentration and relaxation!
