Sport Relief

Well done to those parents, grandparents and friends of the school who joined us on Friday to run a mile with their children to support sport relief.

Well done to those parents, grandparents and friends of the school who joined us on Friday to run a mile with their children to support sport relief. Seven times round the large playground seemed a long way to some children, but they all managed it and kept going to the end.

Getting children (and staff) moving more is proven to increase fitness levels and improve concentration in class.

We are planning to join Active Surrey initiative 'Run to Rio' to mark the Olympic Games. It is 5,700 miles from Surrey to Rio, so if every child in our school runs one mile every day it will take us 15 days as a school to complete the distance. There will be more details about this after Easter.
