As part of the Active Schools Flag programme, our school has committed to the 4-week ‘Run Around IRELAND’ challenge which began yesterday Monday 31st March. This challenge is one of the key criteria for schools working towards ASF. It is a great way for pupils to learn about Ireland’s most famous landmarks, to bring learning outdoors and to support the Athletics strand of the PE curriculum by giving pupils the opportunity to develop good running technique.
It will involve pupils walking, jogging or running each day. The distances will be recorded and added up to give a total of kilometres run collectively by the school. It is hoped that we will complete a virtual run around Ireland by the end of the four weeks! Mr Hanly & Mr Hardiman
