East Renfrewshire Council have encouraged every child to become more healthy by running at least a mile most days at school.   At the beginning, a lot of us walked ( that’s allowed) but as time has gone by, more and more of us can easily run 4 laps of our pitch, which makes a mile.

Living in Scotland, we are aware that we can’t run every day because it rains ( a lot) ; it can be very windy; it can be icy and it can be snowy. Every precaution is taken to ensure that the conditions are safe for the children.  They would not run on those rare hot days either.
