Despite the windy forces at work today, 11 hardy P5-7’s took themselves off to run the annual school’s cross country competition out at Green Valley today! We had glorious sunshine, slightly over shadowed by some harsh headwinds (or excellent tail winds if you are facing the right way…?) 

Pupils waited patiently for the schools to gather and then the races began, every single pupil tried their absolute best and the most evident thing to myself and the other members of staff was the team work the Kirkcolm pupils displayed – cheering each other on as loudly as they could! 

We had a tremendous victory from a rather small girl – in the form of our own Phoebe Manson who has proved that long legs don’t always win the race! Phoebe secured third place in the p5 girls race and earned herself a medal at the prize giving! 

A well done to all pupils for taking part and supporting each other and an extra special well done to Phoebe for her victory today!
