Outfit Moray – Biking Adventures during the School Holidays

Please see information below from Outfit Moray:

Family ‘Fix & Ride’
Thanks to Cycling UK Shift initiative we are able to provide family ‘fix and ride’ days which are aimed at encouraging families to be more self-sufficient with regards to basic maintenance and repairs, helping them save money and feel more confident to get out cycling more together.
The days start with a 2 hour bike basic bike maintenance session, followed by a local, instructor-led ride.
£10 per person
18th, 19th, 30th October
Book here: https://bit.ly/3AK84ey

Bike Discovery tours
2nd October (Fochabers) & 9th October (Lossie woods)
Book here: https://bit.ly/3o97tj5
£5 per person (ages 8+)

There’s also our all ability cycling sessions that happen regularly over the weekends in Cooper Park:
Our all ability cycling sessions offer the opportunity for young people, and adults, with additional cycling needs to try out and enjoy cycling with different adapted bikes, including trikes and wheelchair bikes.
2 & 16 Oct, 6 & 20 Nov

£5 per 45 mins session

**These are not instructional sessions, our goal is that parents/family/carers can come along and use our bikes for a cycling session around the park, maybe with siblings or other family members (no booking required for family members, but please bring your own bikes). We hope that, by making these bikes available, we can encourage and enable more families to get out cycling together.

Thank you!

Let’s get BUZZY…

Soon, we begin our Beekeeping journey at KGS and have some beesuits, tools and beehives ready for use.  (Our new bees are on standby and ready to move in.) What we still need to find is a suitable place to site our apiary  outwith the school ground. Can you please help?

Below is a wish list of what we are looking for, but realistically, we know we may not achieve all of them.

We are looking for a place  :

  • Where the morning sun (even in Winter) will be on the hive entrances.
  • That is not too shaded by Trees, although some trees nearby are fine.
  • That is not too damp, although, ideally with a water supply not too far away.
  • That is not too exposed/sheltered from strong winds.
  • That is (ideally) within walking distance of the school, or within a short distance by minibus.
  • With room (if possible) to park a vehicle not too far from the beehives to transport hives and equipment.
  • That is relatively flat to accommodate up to 5 school children and two teachers (only about 1 or 2 visits each week in summer, less often in Winter).
  • Not too close to commonly visited areas (i.e. discretely tucked away).

If you can tick off just a few points on this criteria, please email me at gw09allanangela2@glow.sch.uk with a brief description of your proposed site.

Many thanks,

Mrs Allan (PT of Digital Learning)

Scholar – New video for Learners studying SQA Qualifications

SCHOLAR have released the latest support video for learners. This new resource, “Studying for SQA Qualifications Using SCHOLAR”, has been created to show learners how to use SCHOLAR in their studies as they work towards a National 5, Higher or Advanced Higher qualification.

The video is suitable for learners with no prior experience of SCHOLAR, but may also be of benefit to students with summative assessments or exams approaching who may wish to use the interactive course materials and automatically marked, end of topic and end of unit assessments for consolidation and revision.

The video is available at http://bit.ly/StudyWithSCHOLAR
