Bike-It-Breakfast and Dr. Bike

Well done to those children and parents who came to school today on bicycles and scooters to be rewarded with a "Bike-It-Breakfast!"
Our thanks to Jonathan Dixon, our Sustrans Officer for giving all the bikes at school a "Bicycle Health Check". Jonathan has fixed lots of bits and bobs that needed fixing and left each bicycle with a "report" of what work needed doing.

The children in Year 3 enjoyed a cricket lesson with our visiting ECB coach Emily.

Year Three visit from Sustainable Schools' Officer, Alison Jay

Year Three enjoyed a visit today from our Sustainable Schools' Officer, Alison Jay.
Alison talked to the children about how we can "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" and the children played a thought-provoking board game to draw their attention to how this is part of our everyday lives.
Alison gave the class some pencils that had been made from recycled plastic cups.
