All classes ran, walked, and jogged laps of our track over the last month and reached some scenic Irish places along each of their routes.
Well done to all pupils and staff for their efforts this year!!
Our Active Schools Team helped form this art display to take account of the destinations reached by all our classes too.
Well done guys, it really is fantastic.
