Today Room 5 had the chance to have a go at our Tahuna block run. The sun was shining and it was warm outside, but I was very impressed with the attitudes and perseverance the students showed during this. This year we will work on our fitness and running, so students can be ready to go for the timed run to see if they can receive a badge or beat their time from the run before. As long as the students are giving it 100% and improving each time ,that is a success!

• 2.4km Run around the perimeter of Tahuna.

• Times are specific and you must achieve under the time listed to qualify for a badge.

• One timed block run a term- meaning there is only one opportunity each term to actually achieve a badge. All other runs would therefore be a practise.

• If a badge is achieved e.g. gold, a runner won't also be given silver and bronze. Think of it like the Olympics- the Gold medalist would never ask for a Bronze and Silver Medal just to then have more than one :)
