Andrei Muresan, aged 11, is delighted to have won a badge design competition for charity Living Streets' award-winning challenge WOW.

Based on the theme "walk with imagination", Andrei created a beautiful sea-inspired design featuring a boy wearing school uniform walking along the seabed among fishes and a whale.

He said: "I imagined that I am walking under the sea. There is no pollution; the sea is beautiful and clean."

Andrei is one of 11 pupils across the UK to have won the award. His design is now one of the monthly badges that are awarded to pupils across the UK for actively travelling during January.

Kirklandneuk Primary also topped Living Streets' Scottish leaderboard for the highest number of pupils who travel to school by walking, cycling, and wheeling.

Well done to Andrei and everyone at Kirklandneuk Primary.
