Good Health Challenge – Fridays on the AWP Starting this Friday, Games Parliament will be organising a Good Health Challenge on the all-weather pitch at 1.30pm for all P4 to P7 children. The route will be around the top half of the pitch keeping outside the side-lines on the way round then travelling along the centre line. The start and finish point for each lap will be in the centre circle. Every time you complete a lap you will be given a sticker by a Games Parliament Rep so you know how many laps you have done. 8 laps would be approximately one mile. It is not a race but a challenge for each person to set a goal and see if they can reach it. You can walk or run or a combination of both. If you want to take part just go to the centre circle on the All Weather Pitch anytime from 1.30 onwards and let the Games Parliament know when you are starting. Games Parliament
