    Not sure how many of you pop over to AR for a look but I came across this thread started by zico. Fair play to him and others for implementing in their classes. Kudos

    Bravo Zico. Some great work. I remember you posting about the Scottish school on FB some time back. Thought it was a great idea and brilliant to see you and other teachers bring it in over here.

    After running a mile a day with a new class since September, I got the Blanch Gazette to do a feature on it. I'm trying to generate as much publicity as possible for this. If people wouldn't sharing the article on social media and whatnot, it would be great.

    I didn't write the headline and even though it's in quotation marks, I'm pretty sure I didn't say it. That question was put to me and what I did say was more along the lines of; without a test group, it would be difficult to say, but my class are doing well academically. Of course any improved academic performance could also be down to their excellent teacher, so that's introducing even more variables to such an experiment.

    That is fvcking class. Well done Zico, fair play to you. I'll share that article today. I teach next door to you in Coolmine Community School actually and train soccer and/or basketball so I'll be on the look out for the fit St. Mochta kids :) We run a fit club in our school, aimed at the non sporty type of student though all are welcome but I feel a daily exercise routine is hugely important especially at that age.
