Some of the children who took part in Newchurch Primary School’s Santa Dash. AMID the disappointment of having to cancel their popular Cross Country Club this term, Newchurch Primary youngsters were later able to take part in a rather muddy Santa Dash as Covid rules relaxed this month. Children, wearing festive fancy dress, enjoyed a run within either their Year 3-4 and Year 5-6 bubbles all to Christmassy music. At the end of each run, the pupils were given a Santa Dash medal, a mug of hot chocolate and a slice of chocolate log for their efforts. The Year 5 -6 children ran just over three miles, while the Year 3-4 youngsters covered 2.75 miles, taking in Christmas lights and a field of Christmas trees.

Newchurch Schoolchildren Enjoy Festive Santa Dash
By Jamie White
Children at Newchurch Primary School have been getting into the Christmas spirit with a festive Santa Dash.
The school held two Santa Dashes for Year 5 and 6 children and one for Year 3 and 4 children.
Due to COVID restrictions, the school cancelled its Cross Country Club this term, something which is always extremely popular with the children.
Due to Tier 1 coronavirus regulations, the children were given the chance to run within their bubbles with their friends, whilst listening to Christmas music and wearing their festive fancy dress.
