This week, to coincide with the London Marathon, we took part in the mini marathon and ran around our playground. This consisted of 18 laps! To keep count, their name was crossed off a very big list - 18 times! Mr Spalding was very, very impressed with all of the children and they should be very proud of their achievement. Their effort was excellent and it was great to see how happy they were when they had finished. Some children even wanted to run more! This bodes well for their future health if they love the feeling you get after going for a run. Mr Spalding recommends that they start running junior parkrun  run on Sunday mornings. In recognition of this feat, each child received a very special medal. Medals for 2026 were not available, however a very rare 2021 medal was given out. These are rare because it was cancelled during lockdown five years ago.
