Active Schools Slogan
We ran a competition in the school wherein each class had to come up with a suitable slogan for Active Schools! See below the runners up in each class. The children had great fun doing this and congrats to the winner!
This was the overall winning slogan – (you’ll see this on display in different classrooms throughout the school.)
‘The more active you are, the healthier you’ll be. The healthier you are, the more daylight you’ll see.’
