Team Ride or Team Stride?

Thank you very much to all the families which made our January Walk to School Event a great success!

It was delightful to see the playground crammed with scooters, and hear the children talk about the things they saw on their way to school. Hopefully this will inspire children to walk or ride to school every 'Walk to School' event, every week or every day - and develop life-long healthy habits in the process.

Team Stride wore something GREEN and Team Ride wore something ORANGE. See if you can work out who was on which team!



A few facts:

  • Walking to school can keep you healthy and happy.
  • Children should do 60 minutes physical activity, five times a week.
  • Walking helps reduce traffic on the roads and around school, making the community safer and more attractive.
  • The average car journey to school creates enough carbon dioxide to fill 30 balloons!
  • The average annual spend on petrol for the school run is £200. Walking can save a lot of money.
