Peace Proms Practice
Pupils involved in the Peace Proms coir headed off to the SSE in Belfast for a practice today. Lots of excitement. Pupils had a fabulous time.
The first of the Flahavan's Primary Cross Country league races was held at Portadown Rugby Club this morning. Bridge IPS was represented by a strong team of 16 runners who took part in the fun run and team race events. The weather stayed dry and was mild. The course was muddy and soft in some places, but mostly fair underfoot, which meant good times for everyone. The enthusiasm of the runners was met by the encouragement and team support on the side of the course. Well done Team Bridge!
Congratulations to the P5 Freckle users
