Dr Bike (aka Dan Waters) will be at John Muir campus tomorrow (4th May) 12noon-1pm.

Just turn up with your bike for a free safety check. We don’t supply any parts but Dr Bike can adjust helmets, brakes and gears, put chains back on and pump up tyres.

Dr Bike can also give advice on

• Bike2Work (get a bike through your employer and save up to 42%)
• Cycle equipment (helmets, baskets, child-trailers etc)
• Looking after your bike
• Safer routes to school
• Cycling maps of East Lothian and beyond
• Where to get cycle training

It’s Walk to School Week in Dunbar next week (21-25 May) and once again we’re asking you all to make a special effort to come to school on foot, by bike or on scooters.

Children who are active on the way to school arrive fresh and ready to start their lessons, and fewer cars at the school gate make it safer for everyone. After the recent weather it’s easy to get out of the habit of walking or cycling, but please make a special effort next week to help us maintain our reputation as a super active school.

Dunbar Primary School is now selling fluorescent vests for pupils which are available from the school office for £1. These will become part of the ‘outdoor uniform’ for pupils.

We came 7th place out of 657 schools in our category for THE BIG PEDAL 2012 (Schools with over 150 pupils). This is a national competition, so it’s brilliant to be so far up the leader board. Well done everyone!!!
