Three\u00a0years ago St Ninian\u2019s Primary School in Stirling encouraged children to walk or run a mile every day in almost all weathers. They found that there were clear improvements in the pupils\u2019 fitness and focus in the classroom.<\/p>\n

As a school this is something that we wanted to try. We discussed the various routes we could take and decided to use the local park. The P5-P7 class measured the route, identifying how far to walk.<\/p>\n

On the 3rd<\/sup> September 2015 we decided to start, and despite the brief rain shower, it was a very enjoyable experience. The P1-P4 class are currently doing the walk twice a week and the P5-P7 class are doing it every day. We have even managed to get parents involved!<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s great to get some fresh air\u2019<\/em><\/strong> Hannah, P5<\/p>\n

\u2018I am getting quicker at going around the route and it\u2019s making me fitter\u2019<\/em><\/strong> Freya P7<\/p>\n

\u2018It is good for my heart as it gets the blood pumping around my body and it gives me more oxygen, so that means I get more energy\u2019<\/em><\/strong> Sam P6<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
