Recently Waringstown Primary School took part in the nation-wide event ‘Northern Ireland Does The Daily Mile Santa Run!

Children were encouraged, as appropriate, to run or jog for most of the time and keep walking to a minimum.

Children wore their school tracksuits alongside a Christmas Jumper to support this event.  Everyone enjoyed their time outside and accomplished the Daily Mile Santa Run.  Take a look through our gallery to see how we got on:
