The Sustrans Interclass Active Travel Award was won by Primary 5 Mrs Williamson's class for the month of January in the Healthy Travel to School Survey.
This is the second time the trophy has been awarded to Primary 5 and Mrs Williamson is very proud of all for their efforts. The trophy continues to be awarded each month to the class with the highest recorded Active Journeys to School and encourages children to take part daily. Well done P5W!

Ditch the Dark Day 2020 was a huge success, with the school being truly lit up with all the bright and fluorescent clothing. It was great to see all the bikes, scooter and flickers housed in our bike sheds, showing just how many children got involved in our push for more active travel.
Mr McCambley led a superb assembly looking at the importance of 'being seen,' and also the importance of 'being able to see clearly.' He then went onto teach how important it is to give your life to Christ, the light of the world.
A big thankyou for all your donations, which was totaled at £327. This will be included in the School Eco Council's budget to purchase items for the school throughout the year.

On this day we encourage pupils to walk, scoot or cycle to school. They may also wear bright and colourful clothing. Accessories can be bright and creative.
We would ask for a donation of £1 which will be used by our School 'Eco' Council to purchase items for the school.

Miss McAnearney's P4 pupils recorded 69% of their October journeys to and from school to be 'active,' which was the highest class score for this month. This means that they hold onto the Sustrans Trophy for the next month and each received a small prize for their efforts.
Well done P4McA

It was great to have Dave Wiggins, our Sustrans Link Officer, in with us today taking our Primary 4 pupils for orienteering. The pupils were placed in groups and had to use a numbered map to find pictures. At the end of this the groups had to use the words of the items they found to label a bike. This was followed up in the classroom with a conversation about bike safety. Click on the 'read more' link below to see the P4s in action.
Dave also popped in with P5W to inform them that with 88%, they were the best class with Active Travel journey's recorded for April. Well done P5W...winners for the second month in a row.

Get set… we’re taking part in The Big Pedal 2019, the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and scooting challenge that inspires pupils, staff and parents to choose an active journey to school.
The challenge runs from 25 March to 05 April.
On each day of the challenge schools compete to see who can record the greatest number of pupils, staff and parents walking, cycling or scooting to school. Our best five days will determine our final position in the challenge. We’ll be competing against other schools right across the UK, and if we clock up the most bike and scooter journeys we’ll win!
Why we’re taking part
It’s a great way to get more of our pupils actively travelling to school. We will be competing to become one of the UK’s top schools for active journeys and will be in with a chance to win prizes including bike and scooter stunt shows and fantastic cycle and scooter storage.
What’s next?
All you need to do is encourage your child(ren) to walk, cycle or scoot to school every day during the event, and join them on their way – parent and sibling journeys count too!
For more information about the event go to www.bigpedal.org.uk
