Fundraising for iPads

Primary Seven have been working on improving their fitness over the term and we have been discussing my marathon adventure as part of our physical education programme. The class have been desperate to complete a ‘Daily Mile’ as part of their fitness plans and have been improving their own running during outdoor P.E.

It was suggested that we begin fundraising with the Parent Council and Ms. McDowall (who is running the Amsterdam Marathon) to try and purchase two iPads. This will allow each base to have an iPad and it would be incredibly positive for Barsail. As a school we aim to use the blog to share our learning experiences with you! In addition, as a school we are aiming to collectively run a marathon to raise awareness of our fundraising challenge.

A huge part of running the NYC Marathon this year has been about improving my own fitness and inspiring others to participate in sport at any level, even running at their local park. Although running a marathon has always been a personal target, it’s one that has felt unachievable at times. So, I hope to highlight that having goals and working towards targets is incredibly positive. We might not succeed first time, but the process is just as valuable as the product.

I will be sending blog posts from New York and sharing Primary Seven’s running and fitness targets.

We would be incredibly grateful for any sponsorship as we embark on our ‘Marathon Challenge’.

 

Thanks,

Mrs Napier and Primary Seven
