Raasay Primary School has signed up for the Daily Mile initiative which is a fully inclusive physical activity whereby pupils walk, run or wheel for fifteen minutes on a minimum of three days a week. The activity has been shown to improve physical and mental health and is fully inclusive as each child goes at their own pace.

The boys have measured out the route within the playground and how many laps of the playground it takes to run a mile. They did some mathematical calculations and worked out that it is nine times round the playground. The boys are logging their runs and their times so that they can challenge themselves to improve their time each week. They are keen to build on their fitness ahead of the annual Inter Schools Cross Country in May.
