A SCHOOL AND PERSONAL CHALLENGE FOR CHARITY Garlinge pupils walk 1000 miles together for the NSPCC
The vision? How could we set our pupils a collaborative task with a personal challenge focus?
The idea? Set ourselves a target of walking 1000 miles together in a week!
The reality? We did it!! 1000 miles and 16,000 laps of the playground!!
The idea that we could walk so far together really captured the imagination of the pupils and the personal challenge element was clear to see. For some, it was about doing as many miles as they could, for others it was about overcoming physical barriers to walk a complete mile. One thing is for sure, the level of commitment from each and every one of our pupils was nothing short of awesome!
We have also linked this to an intra competition between our key stage 2 year groups. The totals so far...
Y3 - 115 miles Y4 - 158 miles Y5 - 199 miles Y6 - 234 miles
