As part of the Sustran Active School Travel Programme, which aims to encourage more journeys to school by foot or wheels, we had our ‘Ditch the Dark Day on October 7th. Active travel, such as cycling, walking and scooting to and from school has great health benefits. Many of our children met at the Church carpark and either walked, rode bikes or rode scooters to school.
Within their classes, the children then did activities on wearing bright clothes when on the roads and they also did other road safety activities.
A number of our children were given a lesson on how to move from riding a bike with stabilizers to riding without stabilizers. We were amazed at how successful this was in such a short session.
Five children have now been appointed as ‘Digital Leaders’ for our school.

Congratulations to Emma P6, Lucy C P7, Cameron P7, Sophia P4 and Tilly P5 who are our new Digital Leaders.
Following on from the success of School Council in previous years, eight children from P4-P7 have been chosen to serve on School Council for 2020- 2021. All children who were interested in becoming a school Councillor, wrote a manifesto giving reasons why they should be chosen to be on the School Council. There was then a class vote, and the following children were elected:- Beth P4, Mark P4, Anna P5, Dan P5, Flora P6, Kirsty P6, Susanna P7 and Lucy S P7. They are now looking forward to working alongside the teachers, to try to implement some of the changes that pupils have suggested, to make our school a better place
