The Eco team joined with the PDMU team to help plan NYNY. They wanted to encourage everyone to get moving for 15 minutes every day. Each class took part and went outside every day to walk, jog or run. The Daily Mile is a physical activity which promotes social, emotional and mental health well being, as well as fitness. Evidence has shown that children who take part in the Daily Mile are happier, tress and anxiety are reduced. Fitness and energy levels are improved and that there can be better focus and concentration in class. The children were so good at encouraging each other and new friendships were formed. The children discovered that they could be very determined and kept going even when they began to feel tired. Children were given Daily Mile stickers and certificates for being supportive, determined, dedicated, happy and social. It was a huge success and one we will continue with throughout the year!
