HARDY souls from the junior class and staff from Denby First School took to the saddle for a cross-country bike ride despite torrential rains.
The determined youngsters pedalled from Penistone to Wortley along the old Sheffield Victoria railway line ignoring the downpour.
As we reported recently, a rather muddy team leader, teacher Mrs Travis, said that all the pupils did very well and that nobody had complained about the weather.
Meanwhile, the infants enjoyed a water fun day back on the school field. The school has excelled in sports recently bringing in a second and fourth for orienteering.
The Year 5 school leavers held a special assembly to mark the end of their time at the school. Each pupil wrote down their hopes and dreams on a card and tied it to a balloon which was then released.
