ALTARNUN Primary School’s PTA recently organised a hot chocolate event at the school to raise money towards improvements to a footpath around the school.

The footpath will enable children to enjoy a 1-km walk around the school each day.

PTA chairperson, Claire Thorne, said: “The afternoon went really well. Parents joined all of the children at the school and we put on hot chocolate and biscuits, which allowed the children to have a runaround and for the parents to have a catch-up.

“We raised just over £80 and that will go towards the children’s outdoor learning and engaging them to be more active by doing a 1-km walk around the school each day. We want to complete the footpath around the school to make it better for the children.”
