WI NTER I S SUE | J ANUARY 2 0 2 6 7 All eyes 'and ears' on Bunny Hop April 6 2026 (Easter Monday)! th The Bunny Hop admin team hopes readers of Shapwick News have enjoyed a welldeserved festive season—packed with good food, good company, and maybe the occasional extra treat (no judgment here!) Launched in 2008 by Shapwick Villagers, Teresa King and Lucy Hedgcock, the Shapwick Bunny Hop is a wonderful celebration of old-fashioned cross-country running – a 7.5 mile circular route starting and ending in Shapwick; and taking in road, village paths and two nature reserves. Bunny ears and other means of celebration are welcome! This year's Bunny Hop poster was created by a first year Strode College art student, Elmo Bull, who won out of a field of 30 fantastic entries. A further two designs by the runnersup will be printed as labels on the bottles of cider awarded to finishers and helpers. This year's run, our 17 , will be organized again with Street Striders with proceeds going to local charities. The tradition of a 4-mile walk following part of the race route will be available for friends and family. So, if you happen to be feeling in need of fresh air and exercise after the holidays, signing up could be the perfect way to hop—quite literally— back into a healthy routine. A fun goal, a friendly challenge, and a great excuse to dust off those running shoes as the new year begins! th Happy New Year everyone! If you’re anything like me, then you’ve just had a two week break where the first week is super chaotic - trying to buy everything you see in the shops for your friends and family. The second week, it’s the complete opposite - a struggle to get out of bed in the morning and homework is out of the question. Here’s an example: Good luck. >:) For the School Kids of Shapwick This quiz is for you to finally flip the switch in your brain and get ready to go back to school (ugh). For this quiz, every word links to the previous one somehow, and at the end they all have to fit into the sequence. I’m sure you’ve probably seen someone playing something similar to this game online. There’s also some pictures to help a little bit (some that don’t relate to the quiz to make it trickier!) If you think you’re smart enough, you could always cover over the images. Finding it hard because the photos a bFlack and white?
