IN PICTURES: Derry schoolchildren team up for Easter egg hunt along the Foyle

Pupils from Nazareth House PS, St Eugene’s PS, Long Tower PS and Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóir work together to complete challenges and find hidden treats along the riverbank

More than 60 children from Nazareth House Primary School, St Eugene’s Primary School, Long Tower Primary School and Gaelscoil Éadain Mhóir came together for a fun-filled Easter egg hunt along the Foyle Greenway.

The young people were split into mixed-school teams at the start of the day, giving them the chance to meet new friends and work together with children from other schools.

A series of team-building challenges led by Far & Wild got everyone warmed up before they set off on the 1km route along the banks of the River Foyle.

Working together, the teams ran along the Greenway, keeping their eyes peeled for hidden Easter eggs along the way.

The event finished at the Daisyfield Sports Hub, where every child was rewarded with a medal and a goody bag after completing the challenge.

The day wasn’t about competition, but about bringing children together, helping them work as a team and make new friends.

The Easter Hop is part of Féile’s Connect:Interact:Create Programme, funded by The Executive Office’s Central Good Relations Fund.
