🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Building skills, confidence and road safety awareness! Ideal for the summer holidays.

Pupils at Wellington Lions Primary Academy have been taking part in Bikeability training, helping them develop the skills and knowledge needed to cycle safely on roads and trailways across South Wiltshire.

The course has given children valuable practical experience, teaching them how to ride confidently, understand road safety, spot potential hazards and make safe decisions while cycling or scootering. It's a fantastic way to encourage healthy, active travel while helping our pupils stay safe wherever their bikes take them.

Well done to everyone who took part and showed great enthusiasm throughout the training! 👏

🦅 Wings, wildlife and wonderful learning!

Pupils from Wellington Lions Primary Academy had a fantastic time visiting the Hawk Conservancy near Salisbury, discovering fascinating facts about incredible birds such as kestrels and vultures.

From seeing these magnificent birds up close to learning about their habitats and conservation, it was an unforgettable educational adventure.

A brilliant day of learning beyond the classroom!

🌟🏅 Year 5 Leadership in Action! 🏅🌟

Last week, our amazing Year 5 pupils took on the role of sports leaders, teaching Reception children a range of sports activities that they had designed themselves. 👏

They demonstrated fantastic leadership skills, showing how to be supportive, encouraging, and adaptive throughout the afternoon.

Year 5 were brilliant at cheering on and motivating the younger children, while Reception impressed us all with their excellent listening skills and enthusiasm for learning from their young leaders.

It was wonderful to see confidence, teamwork, and kindness on display from everyone involved. A great afternoon was had by all! ⭐
