PTA Fun Run 5km route updated + Marshals still needed
In a minor change the route of the five kilometre Fun Run for Saturday 24th March has been altered.
The previous route took in the Boggs Holdings main road which lacks pedestrian footpaths. The revised route now avoids this, making it both safer and requiring fewer marshals on the day.

Active P5
P5 have had a very active first term. We took advantage of the good weather and used our PE time to have several golf lessons. We practised our putting, chipping and driving skills. We had a fantastic time at the P5 basketball festival in Meadowmill and everyone scored a few baskets. The PE specialist has been teaching us new gymnastics skills and we have been using some amazing equipment. We all had a brilliant time at the Karate taster and we made lots of fabulous shakers with Sonsie Music. This term we are having rugby coaching and we will finish the block with a rugby festival at Ross High.
