Sports Events 2018-19

The Daily Mile!

What a great start to the day!

The whole school, staff and parents too, joined in the first every Daily Mile Day to help set a London record for the most children doing the daily mile at the same time.

Being active helps in the following ways:

• active children are more alert - they are more able to concentrate, stay on task in class and make good choices about their behaviour
• active children are happier - they have improved self-esteem, reduced anxiety and increased confidence
• Activity improves bone health and muscle strength, as well as improving fitness and a reduction in body fat

Despite the heat, everyone really enjoyed taking part and we saw some really good runners. 

Thank you to everyone who helped and joined us - maybe we can make this a regular event!

Well done to Nina, Joshua, Jakub, Jesse, Andrei, Alex, Kenye, Travis and Mateusz for representing our School.
