Dear parent carer,

 

See below from Miss McGiveron / the Eco Committee!

 

 

It is Walk to School Week this week (WB 20th May). The week-long challenge is not just about walking. This year's challenge encourages children to travel actively to school every day of the week. Any type of exercise is encouraged, including cycling, riding your scooter or even running.

 

Although it may not be possible for every child to walk the distance from their house to the school, parents are encouraged to 'drive and stride,' parking further than they normally would and walking the rest of the way. This also means that traffic congestion and pollution is reduced around school gates.

To get involved, simply leave your car at home (or a few streets away from school) and get your walking boots on. All you've got to do is walk!

Please help us to support the children in this challenge, as the class who manages to walk to or from school the most will receive a special prize!

 

Thanks!
