The Good Health Challenge begins!

Friday lunchtime saw the first Good Health Challenge organised by the Games Parliament. The aim was for everyone to have the opportunity to run or walk around half of the all weather pitch in their lunch break as many times as they could. This was not a race but an individual challenge to give each child a target to aim at next time. Every time each person completed a lap the GP reps issued a sticker. Eight stickers meant that they had completed a mile.
The GP reps were kept busy handing out stickers but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves with about 50 children from P4-P7 taking part,  many completing a mile or more in the 20 minute slot.

The Challenge will be held at lunchtime every Friday for those who want to take part.
