‘Be Active’ Week

be-active-week-2009This week we hosted our first ‘Be Active’ Week.

Our aim for the week was to raise awareness in school for the importance of being active. Children were encouraged to make an ‘Active Week Pledge’, promising to do or try something active during the week.  Each class  kept a record of all the fruit and vegetables that they have eaten for snack and lunch during the week.  Most children live far away from the school but lots chose to stop on route and walk part of the way.  Points were awarded for each class’ efforts and the class with the most points at the end of the week was recognised as ‘the most active’ class.

The week was a great success.  It was great to see children, parents and teachers all making a special effort to challenge themselves to be more aware of their physical activity and to eat more fruit and vegetables.

Well done everyone!
