Run around Ireland Challenge

As part of working towards renewing our Active School Flag, the children are taking part in the Run Around Ireland Challenge. Each lap = 1km and each class worked out the distance from our school here in Cavan to different landmarks on the maps and wrote the distance on the sheet provided.  This was an excellent way for children to learn about some of Ireland’s most famous landmarks. It was also a good maths project estimating and calculating the distance from our school to the landmarks. Over the next 4 weeks, our aim is to run to some of these places without leaving our schoolyard. A great way to develop our Physical Well-being.
