PUPILS are Moyderwell Mercy Primary School were lucky with the weather over the past few days as they enjoyed exercises for ‘Be Active Week’.

One of the highlights of the week was the ‘Walk A Mile With A Smile’ on Thursday where the whole school walked from the school, over to the town park, around it and back again.

“It’s part of a busy week where we had Zumba dancing, junior sports and senior sports day. It’s the culmination of loads of activities during the year as we’re involved in the Active Schools Project which Caroline Doody has co-ordinated and put an immense amount of work into.”
