This morning, Miss Hunn and Mrs Brown had the pleasure of taking our year 5 and 6 runners to the Northern Gateway Sports Park for their cross country event.  We came away with a medal, some top 10 finished and some super speedy children. We were both so proud of all of the children. They showed all of our school values in abundance!
