Shout Outs! Thank you to Taylor, Mark and Harrison for sending/uploading your work yesterday. It would be fabulous to include more of your work on the blog as part of our 'Shout Outs'.

 

June 3rd is World Bicycle Day and Global Running Day.

In April 2018, the United Nations declared June 3rd as a celebration of the beloved two wheeled transportation. Global Running Day is a worldwide celebration of running that encourages everyone to get moving. This day plays an important role, reminding us of the positives that running can offer and the power of unification. Running and cycling, for many, has been a way to curb cabin fever and stay mentally and physically fit during these times. It has been fantastic to see some of your photos on Padlet of some of the fitness activities you have been doing, that being said remember the Viking Games Challenge posted on Monday's blog!
