Our new Daily Mile flag
We are very proud in Dunboyne Junior School to have received a new flag for our school. On Friday December 18th we raised our new Daily Mile flag. The Daily Mile is a running initiative that is simple and free. It gets the children out of the class for 10 minutes every day to run or jog at their own pace with their classmates, making them fitter, healthier and more able to concentrate in the classroom. We have been participating in The Daily Mile for 2 years now and it has become an integral part of the school day.
To celebrate today we had a very special Santa Daily Mile where all the staff and children wore Santa hats and ran one big lap of the yards. The children really enjoyed it and the Active Committee children from 1st and 2nd class did a fantastic job of leading the classes around the yard. Our Daily Mile flag is now flying high beside our Active flag. Well done to all the boys and girls for taking part.

We are taking part in the' Active Break Every Day Challenge' which we started on November 9th and will run for 4 weeks. We commit to doing at least one active break every day in school. This might be a running, dancing or exercise break. We are committed to helping reduce the amount of time that children are sedentary. Having active breaks throughout the day is fun and it helps with our concentration and focus.
Send send love to local care homes with Community Focus
Here's a selection of cards sent by Second class children to Dunboyne Nursing Home and Silvergrove Nursing Home in Clonee. This is a wonderful initiative by An Post and at a difficult time, this is a fantastic way for our school to show vulnerable members of our community how much they are still valued and loved.
