Fun run and the last day of term
When? Friday 13th October
Where? Åløkke Woods
The school day will start with assembly at 08.15
and we will finish and be back at school by 12.20.
The after school programme will be open from 12.20-16.15 that day, as always.
After assembly the students will walk to Åløkke Woods with their teachers.
There are three routes on the day:•Route 1 is 1km long
•Route 2 is 6km long
•Route 3 is 9km long (from Åløkke to the Iron Age village in Næsby)
•Orientation race (senior students only)
All routes are clearly marked and teachers are placed at regular intervals throughout all the routes to guide and encourage. The short route is on paths in the woods away from traffic. On the longer routes a teacher has been placed at each junction and turn, to ensure our students stay safe and can find the way. The race will begin at 09.45 and finish around 11.45.
How far do students run?
P1, P2 and P3 (+year 0 – year 2 HHS) run route 1 at least 4-5 times
P4 , P5 and P6 (+year 3 – year 5 HHS) run route 2 once and after that route 1 as many times as they want
S7, S8 and S9 (+year 6 – year 8 HHS) run route 3 once and after that route 1 as many times as they want
S10 (+year 9 HHS) are taking part in an orienteering race
This year the teachers in the finish area will help to calculate the total distance run by each student, as well as each class, in order to work out which class has got the most exercise. Start cards will be issued to keep track of distance and times. The students need to make sure the start cards are not lost and that they are signed by a teacher and handed in at the end of the race.
Please remember to wear good running shoes and comfortable clothes. If it looks like it might rain, please bring water proof clothes, too. Students should make sure to have a good breakfast and drink plenty of water that day.
Please bring a packed lunch and drinking bottle along in a small backpack.
It’s going to be great!
