Scoil Bhride pupils enjoy Christmas Dash

The Second classes

More than 600 children in Scoil Bhride took part in a Christmas Dash this morning around the school's running track, writes Brian Byrne. Many were dressed in some form of Christmas costume.

The event gave them an opportunity to showcase their running skills developed through the term. "All classes have scheduled track time every day, but this is a more fun time," says the school's principal, Sarah Fitzpatrick. "Our two organisers today are assistant principal Shelly O'Brien and Muiris Ó Raoghaill, and we have Santa's helper here as well."

Each class had a 15-minute slot today to do as many laps as they wanted in whatever way they wanted. Our Diary pictures of the Second classes show they were very much enjoying being out in the sunshine as the school winds down for Christmas.
