CHILDREN at Winkleigh Primary School and Foundation Unit showed their sporty side – and raised money towards their daily mile running track – when they took part in a multi-sport day recently.

Pupils aged from two to 11 put their all into a number of sporting activities, including the mile relay, the egg and spoon, hurdles and limbo.

They covered over 52 miles in the mile relay – the equivalent of two marathons.

This event was organised by teachers and parents as part of the fundraising efforts for the track. It will be used to encourage the children to run one mile each day, as part of a Government initiative to get children being more active.

So far, the total raised is £4,669.85.

The event was sponsored by a number of local businesses and supported by parents, who helped on the day. Pictures by James Bird
