As a school we will be getting involved in the Walk to School week which starts on Monday 21st May and finishing on Friday 25th May. The schools Eco committee and Junior Road Safety Officers would really like to see more children walking all or part of the way to school this week.
Walking all or part of the journey to school is a great way for children to get fit, healthy and active. Children are meant to participate in sixty minutes of exercise each day, and what better way to contribute to this than by walking to school? It’s fun, easy to do and free.
Of course, we understand that everyone might not be able to walk the whole way, but why not ‘Park and Stride’ – that is, park the car further away from the school gates and walk the last bit of the journey together? For those of you travelling on public transport, you could get off a stop or two earlier.
Let’s get walking!
Sport Relief
We have raised over £540 for this good cause.
Thank you to everyone who contributed.
