The children took part in a Marathon Kids challenge in Deirdre's 5th class. The children had the opportunity to complete a marathon (26.2 miles) by completing 4 running sessions per week for 8 weeks to build their physical ability together with learning about benefits of exercising, health, wellbeing, nutrition and hydration which will benefit them in all aspects of life. The children teamed up with Olya's 5th class and were awarded a medal and a t-shirt in recognition for completing this programme. The celebrations included a warm cup of hot-chocolate after all their hard work.
