A HUGE WELL DONE TO ALL the children in Y6 who completed the Mini Marathon today. Including the laps you did yesterday, with today's run, I think we can safely say you have all run 2.6 miles (or more)!! Mrs Bell's son came to run with the Y6s and as we set off, the heavens opened - it was WET and a bit chilly. Despite the rain, they all set off and everyone did their very best. Thank you to all of you for joining in and giving it your all. Mrs Bell, Mr Holland, Mrs Hall and Mrs Lawton are EXTREMELY proud of you. Thank you for taking part and raising money and for smiling and encouraging one another no matter how hard it was! What OUTSTANDING young people you are! Mrs Bell
