The Daily Kilometre

Nant-Y-Parc - The Daily Kilometre

 

At Nant-Y-Parc we have decided to introduce The Daily Kilometre to all pupils where they are encouraged to walk, jog or run with their classmates in the safety of the playground. Everyone has fun taking part- it is not P.E. and it is not competitive. Children are able to build relationships, confidence and resilience. This can be summed up in the 5 F's.

  1. Fitness- Children become more aware of a healthy lifestyle.
  2. Fresh air- Children thrive on the sights, sounds and seasons.
  3. Friends- Children use the language of friendship to support each other, improving their social and leadership skills.
  4. Fun- Children enjoy taking part- this is what makes The Daily Kilometre so successful.
  5. Focus- Daily physical activity helps children concentrate in the classroom and is proven to raise attainment.
     

KS2 pupils will take part in The Daily Kilometre every day (except Wednesday) at 2pm for 15 minutes.

FP pupils will take part in The Daily Kilometre 3x week (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) at 2:45 for 15 minutes.

All pupils will all need to bring in a labelled water bottle and wear sensible footwear.
