Colour Run at Clenchwarton Primary to celebrate achievements and raise funds
There was a colourful end to the half term, when pupils in Clenchwarton took part in a fun event to both celebrate their achievements and raise funds for the school.
Around 110 children joined in the Colour Run, which took place on the school field, in front of spectating parents and carers.
“This was the first time we’ve ever done a colour run at Clenchwarton,” says Assistant Headteacher Billy Overton.
“We had set up a course around the school field with teacher stations along the way. Every time the children ran past a station, the teachers were able to throw coloured powder on the children. We all got just as covered as the children."
The event was organised by Clenchwarton Parent Teacher Association (PTA), and raised more than £300.
“I’d like to thank our amazing PTA,” continues Mr Overton, “It’s been a really busy time at school, with SATS finishing last week, and all of our staff and children working so hard over this half term.
“It was a great event for the whole school community – children, staff, and parents all laughing together, just like primary schools should.”
