The event at St Bede’s Catholic Primary saw pupils of all ages from Nursery to Year 6 have different coloured powder paints thrown at them while they ran around the school field.
Key Stage 1 Lead Samantha Fairbairn was there to join in the fun – and to help raise money for the school.
“The children ran around a track set up by our PTA Friends of St Bede’s,” she said.
“Volunteers threw powder paint as they ran the course.
“Children had been fundraising in the run up, so that the money could go towards getting new outdoor equipment, including climbing frames.”

It was the first time the event had taken place at St Bede’s, which is a member of the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust.
Mrs Fairbairn added:
“The school are so grateful to the PTA for their constant support of school, and planning events like the Colour Run, upcoming School Summer Fayre, and discos.
“We hope to have raised as much as possible to reach our target of £10,000.”

<h2>Former Governor of Kaduna State, Muktar Ramalan Yero, has joined the ruling <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/apc/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">All Progressives Congress</a> (APC), barely five months after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).</h2>
<p>The former governor, who served the state from 2012 to 2015 under PDP, said he, alongside others, joined APC based on the invitation they received from the party.</p>
<p>Yero appealed to his supporters to join the ruling party to contribute their quota towards moving the state and country forward.</p>
<p>He said, <em>"Since the very day we announced our defection from PDP, many political parties contacted us, including the ruling APC. We met and discussed since the very day we left our former party. </em></p>
<p><em>"Therefore, from today, being 12 February 2024, myself and representatives of other political associates have decided to join APC. After our decision, we met with the state governor and had a discussion with him. We told him that we accepted to join the party based on the invitation we received."</em></p>
<p>Reacting to the development, Kaduna State PDP Secretary, Ibrahim Wosono, said Yero's decision didn't come as a surprise.</p>
<p>According to Wosono, Yero's decision to join APC would not affect the party's fortune in the next general election, adding that the same party took him to EFCC, and the case is still ongoing.</p>
<p>He said,<em> "He has the right specifically to defect from any party to another party, but if he can remember, he has been a commissioner under PDP platform, he has been a deputy governor under PDP, and also he has been a governor under PDP. The APC he has joined now is the same party that defeated him in the 2015 general election, and it's the APC that took him to court and even to jail.</em></p>
<p><em>"As a former governor, he has his own followers, but I will say that the fortune of PDP doesn't rely on somebody's hand. If you could remember, PDP has a history; Obasanjo left PDP, Atiku once left PDP, a lot of governors left PDP, and the party is still alive and strong.</em></p>
<p><em>"So the defection of Ramalan Yero, I don't think will affect the fortune of PDP in the next coming election by God's grace."</em></p>
