Comment With a Song! (Or Write Me a Note!)

As a teacher, there are many joys in my day. Teaching a wide age range of children, working with some amazing people and of course... Giving assemblies! 

Today was assembly day. And after some careful consideration, a topic was decided. Whatever did I choose? I hear you ask. The London Marathon of course! 

Research for my assembly provided me with a wealth of interesting facts a figures: how many people completed the first London Marathon, how many bags of rubbish are collected when it's all over, how many people apply to take part and dare I say it, how many stretchers are on hand should they be needed! (It's 300 by the way!) 

I am pleased to report that the children I was speaking to were receptive (and dare I say, suitably impressed) about the challenge I am undertaking. I was also excited to tell them about this blog! Miss K Runs The Marathon is more than just a way of documenting my journey from 0 - marathon and holding myself accountable, it is a way of sharing my writing with the children I teach - some of whom I hope are reading this post and ready to undertake the task I set them! 

I have asked all the children to think of a motivational song that they would like to add to my marathon playlist and I am already loving the suggestions I have received whilst patrolling the playground earlier today. One particularly ambitious child even wanted to write me an original composition! 

So here it is. The post I told you was coming. The 'comment with a song' post! I can't wait to  see your suggestions and get downloading the tracks. If you can't comment, feel free to let me know your suggestion when you see me around!
