Mrs Peacocke's class once again had over 90% either walking, cycling or scooting to school last week for their 'Getting Moving In May' challenge. A fantastic achievement. The each received a small light (donated by SUSTRANS) that they can attach to their school bag or clothing, to keep them safe as they walk.
This week is the final week of Get Moving In May...so let's 'up' that percentage.

We're now a few days into THE BIG PEDAL and it's great to see so many bikes and scooters taking over the front of our grounds. As you can see from the picture below, our average is 21.40% of pupils from P1-P7 cycling or scooting to school. That is fantastic for a large primary school with over 400 pupils!
Lets keep this up until the 31 March and see if we can raise our average.
