RUN A DAY CHALLENGE 2022 • Our school has committed to the 4 week Run Around Ireland Challenge • The Run Around Ireland challenge is a key criteria for renewal of our active flag. • This running challenge will help children learn about Ireland famous landmarks and bringing the learning outdoors. How we prepared for challenge? • Each class were given a Run Around Ireland sheet (see pictures) • The pupils had to work out the distance between the school and the different landmarks using google maps. • The pupils committed to running every day for 4 weeks. • The pupils ran laps each day around the school(1 lap =1 km). When pupils reached the required landmark distance, they ticked it off the list.

Active homework • Pupils have been keeping active at home too through the active homework initiative. • The pupils must complete one physical activity every day for homework • The pupils colour in the activity when they have it finished on their active homework sheet. • The pupils have participated really well and this has helped their health and wellbeing.
