Wickford Family Cross Country
On Thursday 27th February children from Hilltop, Runwell, Oakfield, Grange, Abacus, Wickford, North Crescent and Rettendon took part in the Wickford Family Cross Country Festival. The event was held at Wickford Primary School and once again the Year 3 and 4 competitors ran 1000m and Year 5 and 6 1500m around the school field. The rain held off and even the sun came out for a short while! The children remained positive and full of enthusiasm throughout the event!
