P6 Bikeability

Mrs Fairbairn has now completed a Bikeability Instructor training course with Cycling Scotland. We are hoping to run Level 1 for our P6 year group in Term 4 when the better weather arrives. Within Level 1 – Riders learn how to prepare for a journey, check their bike and equipment are safe, and develop control skills, good observations and decision making. They also learn the importance of sharing space responsibly with other people. Training is completed in a traffic free setting.
As the ratio of adults to learners is set at a strict 1:15 for rider safety we would like to gauge interest in such a course to allow us to timetable sessions in the playground to accommodate P6 cyclists.
Please read the attached parents guide to become familiar with the course content and complete the questionnaire by following the link below below. https://cycling.scot/media/d4bp0dfl/2024-07-03-parent-s-guide.pdf

Scavenger Hunt

We are thrilled to share that our Rights Respecting Schools Committee has been diligently working behind the scenes to kick off preparations for our much-anticipated annual UNCRC Article Scavenger Hunt! This engaging event is a wonderful opportunity for students and the community to explore and understand the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in an interactive and fun way. The scavenger hunt encourages students to learn about their rights, promoting a school culture that values respect, understanding, and inclusivity. We are eager to foster a deeper appreciation of these important principles among our young learners. Stay tuned for more details, as we’ll be providing further information next week. Thank you for your ongoing support, and we look forward to another successful and enlightening event!
