All classes in the school participate in the Daily Mile. It is so good for the children to get out and exercise.  If we were to walk round our pitch four times, it would be a whole mile.  However, we are small and have little legs, so we have only walked round it once.  We follow the yellow line all the way round so that we all stay together. Once we get better, we can walk faster or run.   We will build this up quickly, adding extra sections until we will get to a mile. We have found since starting the Daily mile, that children are much more focused in class, having used up their energy in the fresh air.

Although we call it the Daily Mile, we don’t actually do it everyday!  We try to do it as often as possible, but our weather often stops us. We don’t walk in the rain, ice/ snow, wind or heat.  We will go out in the snow to build snowmen as it doesn’t happen every day! ( Wrap up and remember snow boots to wear to school. They can be changed in class.  Teachers do it too!)
