Its that time of the year again… the annual Kirkcolm Primary Mini Walk – and what a cracking afternoon of weather we had too, the sun was shining, the kids were smiling and most importantly the vibes were good! \ud83c\udf1e<\/span><\/p>\n

The little class set off first, getting a slight head start (not that they needed it) followed closely behind by the older class. They tore up through the village, tackling the dreaded hill before making their way around the Corsewall route, finishing with a jaunt up Fishers Lane and along the Scar. Some ran, some jogged and some took it easy with a lovely walk, taking in the fabulous views – but everyone took part and that what counts! \ud83d\ude42 \ud83c\udfc3\u200d\u2640\ufe0f \ud83c\udfc3\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many parents and friends of the school came to join in and help with this event, walking with their little person, marshalling the route and cheering everyone on! We had some four-legged friends and even had our youngest ever competitor join the race – little James Morrison \ud83d\udc76<\/span><\/p>\n

As the boys and girls made it around the course they were met with smiles from the marshals and a rewarding ice-lolly from Sara (these went down a treat) followed by a certificate and medal organised by the parent council at the finishing line! \ud83c\udfc5<\/span><\/p>\n

At the finishing line Miss McMorran and Sheila McGrory had the very difficult job of keeping note of the times and this year there were some great ones!! But with an absolutely outstanding time, this year’s winner was no other than… Mr Ivan Turtle!! \ud83d\udc4fThe results are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n
