• Sustrans Home Activity: Bird's Eye View

  Mon 27 Apr 2020 Mrs Craig

  Here's another Sustrans Home Activity to keep the kids (and adults!) busy! This week, there's  a short video from Beverley, our Schools Officer in North Central. Beverley has put together a simple activity focused on maps and ‘birds eye views’. 

   

  You can access Beverley’s intro video here: https://youtu.be/a9LdllAxuVY

   

  The video blurb contains a link to a downloadable pdf activity sheet with all the info you need to do this activity - I’ve also added this to the Letters section of the website. 

   

  Have fun!

• Eco Schools Home Challenge

  Mon 20 Apr 2020

  Hope everyone is enjoying being back into some sort of school routine at home - whatever that might look like in your house! Your work packs have plenty of Literacy and Numeracy activities in them but I have posted an Eco Schools Home Challenge in the Letters section of the website - I have added a picture of it here as well. There are some WAU ideas and activities for you to try out if you would like, all of which are linked to our Eco Schools targets. There are also house points up for grabs as well if you want to send in any pictures!

  Hope you are staying safe and washing your hands,

  Mrs Craig.

• Sustrans home activity

  Mon 06 Apr 2020

  While we can't keep up with our Active Travel to school these days, Ronan, one of the Sustrans officers has created a Climbing High Activity that you can do with your family throughout the Easter holidays. Ronan likes keeping everyone active, but he’s also included a wee bit of maths, some geography, some mapping, and a sport of history all wrapped up in a fun themed activity for the whole family. 

  You may have spotted various people on social media in recent days summiting their staircases multiple times to climb the equivalent of Everest / Mont Blanc / Slemish, etc. That’s the general gist of Ronan’s activity!

   

  Here is the link to his YouTube video: https://youtu.be/xE94l47b5Xo 

  I have added the Activity sheet onto our Letters page and if you want to email in any photos of you completing the climbing activity we will add them to our Sustrans page.

   

  Have fun and get climbing!
