Lace up your trainers and capes and get ready to join us as we celebrate the Moy Park 41st Belfast City Marathon. St. James's Primary School and Nursery Unit will be taking part along with our class mates in a 'Marathon Special Daily Mile Event' on Thursday 8th February!! We will walk and jog 10 laps around our school playground to complete 1 mile.
The theme of the event is Super Heroes. You can be as creative or original as you like as you dress up to participate. Remember, not all super heroes wear capes!
