Run Around Europe Challenge - Week 1

1st Mar 2024

What a week!

We have been running, walking and rolling the km's this week.

Junior Infants, Senior Infants and First Class are going to Paris. It is a distance of 778km - they have achieved a whopping 597km already! They are more than half-way there. Well done everyone.

Second Class are travelling to London for their 1st destination. They have racked up 426km of their 464km goal - only 38km to go and it's onto the next city. Well done guys!

Third Class are running to Brussels in Belgium. They have accumulated 368km out of 777km. They are nearly half-way there! Brilliant job everyone.

Fourth & Fifth Class are going to Rome in Italy. They have achieved 625km of their 1621km goal. They are over a third of the way there. Keep up the great work guys!

Fifth & Sixth Class are running to Athens, Greece. They have accumulated a huge 625km already! They are almost a quarter of the way to their 2856km goal. We know they will smash this target throughout the 4 week challenge.

The Special Classes are travelling to Zagreb in Croatia. They have achieved 496km of their 2152km goal. A quarter of the way there. They will definitely make it!! 

The whole school tally for the week was an amazing 3024km!!!

There was a lot of counting and multiplying and "Maths-Talk" this week in the corridors of Kilsaran N.S. 

On Friday the whole school got together to do a lap followed by an assembly with Teacher Claire to tally the lap totals and to discuss facts about the cities we are visiting. David from the Sunshine Class brought in the Croatian flag and we learned a very interesting fact about French fries - they actually originate from Belgium!!

We are really looking forward to week 2 of this amazing challenge.
