While we were not in school on Friday for our annual Sports day, there were sport and activites taking place all around the Piercestown area! From obstacle courses to tennis matches, to skipping challenges to gymnastics and plenty of icecream. Well done to all who participated! It is a true testament to our Active School Status. Check out some of the photos we received so far. Don’t forget if you wish to share pictures on the blog send them to principal@piercestownns.com.
Extra special shout out to those who have entered the ‘Obstacle Course’ challenge. There is still time to get your entries in to Miss Farrell on lfarrell@piercestownns.com Keep an eye out on the blog later in the week of the winner announcement.
With just 2 weeks of the offical school year left to go, time is passing quickly.
