HPS are Feeling Festive

The whole of HPS had a fun filled start to December dressed in our festive clothing to complete the Daily Mile . The children across P1-P7 wore all things bright and beautiful to bring some seasonal festive cheer while completing 12 laps of the main playground for our Santa Run.

The Daily Mile is a simple and free initiative which gets children out of the classroom for 15 minutes every day, to walk, run, jog or wheel at your own pace. Whilst making them fitter, healthier and able to concentrate in the classroom, it has huge social and emotional benefits too.

HPS were among many schools across Northern Ireland, to get moving on the same day, to celebrate the positive benefits that daily activity can have on our mental health.

Check out some of the festive fun in the photos below:

Run Santa Run!

HPS were feeling festive today in their Christmas hats when they took to the playground to complete the Santa Run with the rest of Northern Ireland for the Daily Mile. As a school we want to continue to celebrate the positive benefits that daily activity can have. Taking part in regular physical activity has lots of benefits for children’s physical health, mental health and wellbeing, and their learning.

Check out some photos of the pupils across P1-P7 in action! We all loved getting outside, getting active and having some festive fun with our friends!
