Today, our infant classes visited Allan’s magic show which reinforced the messages of road safety. They all enjoyed this and we’re great at relaying the message of ‘STOP, LOOK, LISTEN AND THINK’.

Green Fingers!
Our uppers have been busy at lunchtime, making their own bird nests for our school garden! They look wonderful!
Voyage To Venus
Our Voyage to Venus is well and truly taking off this term. With every active travel journey you make to and from school earns s-miles which we then add to our whole school total. Plus, don’t forget bonus s-miles when you travel to and from school with someone! As always, we appreciate your support with this travel initiative.
P6 Bikeability
Our Primary 6s have undergone their Bikeability Level 1 training.
We are extremely grateful to Courtney and Miss Nicholl for working with our young people to gain this award.
Bikeability Level 1 teaches us to:
- Maintain our cycle: making sure our ride is in tip-top condition and make simple repairs
- Glide: smooth, calm and collected
- Control our bike: including setting off, cruising, slowing down, braking and stopping. (You’ll even learn to pedal one handed!)
- Pedal: without feeling wobbly or out of control
- Be aware of our surroundings: looking behind and turning around obstacles
