Bikeability Level 2 takes place on single lane roads with simple junctions and moderate traffic, after a rider has successfully demonstrated level 1 skills. Riders learn to make good and frequent observations, communicate their intentions clearly to other road users, decide on and use the most suitable riding position, understand priorities on a road and make decisions about when people wait and when people go.
To prepare for our House Captain Speeches and to learn a little bit more about the names of our School Houses, we completed some research on the laptops.
We learned about John Fulton who invented the Orrery, and was a notable mathematician. Matthew Fowlds who was the last remaining hand loom weaver in the area and died after his 100th birthday. The Dunlop family who were a famous Covenanting Family in the area. John Howie, who was born near Fenwick in Lochgoin Farmhouse which provided refuge to the Covenanters.
We discovered that all of these important Fenwick people are buried in the village. So we decided to go and explore the village and find their memorial stones.
