Sustrans Walk and Wheel winners
Mon 04 Apr 2022Congratulations to P1 Mrs Freeburn, P3/4 Mrs Reilly, P6/7 Mr Speers and P7 Mrs Dunne for winning our Walk and Wheel competition. We had some very impressive percentages of pupils walking, cycling and scooting to school so thank you to parents and helpers for encouraging as much active travel as possible over the last 2 weeks. It was a very close competition for some classes so we had to have joint winners for P5 - P7 classes as there was only 0.5% between them!
The winning classes will have a movie afternoon with hot chocolate and treats some day this week. Well done everyone!
