The Daily Mile
Pupils at Burlington Junior School have taken up the Daily Mile challenge. We have had our playground installed with a yellow line that if the children run 6 times round will equal one mile.
Regular Exercise has positive benefits to both physical and emotional health, well being and improved behaviour. The plan is initially for each class to try and run the distance from Bridlington to London, a total of 212 miles before the end of term.
