‘Active Schools – Santa Dash’

December 2020

Monday 21st December marked our FIRST EVER ‘Active School’s Santa Dash’!!

All the children in every class were asked to wear red and white on the day, along with a Santa hat. Unfortunately, due to Covid-restrictions, the children didn’t perform the dash as an entire school, but they did however get the opportunity to run with their whole class outside on the basketball court instead. We even played some classic Christmas hits on our school speaker in order to really get the children excited for running in their red and white outfits. It was really quite the spectacle!!

See below some pictures of our various classes enjoying their first ever ‘Active Schools Santa Dash!’

Each child also received a very special ‘Santa Dash Completion Certificate’ to mark this very special occasion.
