St Albans Fun Run

On Sunday, it was lovely to see so many smiling Bernards Heath faces, despite the rain, down at Verulamium Park for the Fun Run. All the children had lots of fun (as did myself, Miss Ferry, Mrs Gilbert, Miss Honeybell and Miss Jones) running the 1.5 mile course. A big thank you for all the parents who braved the weather to either run along side or cheer around the course. All did very well with Bernards Heath pupils not only running the 1.5 mile fun run, but also some of the older children the 5k.

All the children's entries (Fun Run and 5k) went together with the Infants school and amazingly, with the highest percentage of children running, we won the schools challenge for a second year.

Special mention must also go to our Staff members Mrs Astley, Mrs Skillett and Mrs Hall who all completed the full half marathon distance and Mrs Wood, who left our school in the spring term, completing the 5k.

In addition to the official competition, in school we ran a competition for the class who had the most runners taking part. Congratulations to 4H who won with 16 pupils from the class running on Sunday.

Mr Brown

Keen to get started!
Very pleased with there medals (and popcorn).




Not sure it was quite ice lolly weather, but they still went down a treat!
