Primary 6 have started a new topic to develop their learning about the benefits of active travel and exploring the world around us. This will involve exploring the local community. ​Carol Smith & Martin Bucknell are AST Support Officers and will be supporting the school this term to deliver this exciting project. The pupils have had their first session with Carol & Martin and were developing relationships and discuss active travel in the local community.
