Year 6 Stepathon!

29th May 2025

As part of our focus on health and wellbeing, Year 6 took part in a sponsored Stepathon, clocking up thousands of steps and showing that being active can be great fun!

The classes enjoyed a walk to People’s Park, where they got some fresh air and exercise. When they returned to school, they were surprised with a visit from an ice cream van. 

We also welcomed a special guest from the Belfast Giants ice hockey team. The player, Andrew Dickson, gave an interesting and inspiring talk about the four key parts of a healthy lifestyle: eating well, staying active, getting enough sleep, and looking after your mental health.
