Golden Kilometre 2017

In Year 3, 4 and 5 they took part in the Mayor's Golden Kilometre Challenge! According to London Sport only 24% of boys and 16% of girls in London meet recommendations for physical activity. Growing evidence shows that increased physical activity and improved fitness levels in school children is associated with better academic success and improved classroom behaviour. We measured out how many times around the playground made a km and then for 6 weeks, Year 3-5 walked or ran a km every morning after tefillah! The children really enjoyed the challenge and took pride in improving their timings each week.
