Monday 23rd September marked the beginning of Bike to School week. Every day, the children engaged in an activity that focused on promoting cycling and a healthier lifestyle.

On Monday, we started with playing Pollution Detectives. Each child had to circle as many sources of pollution as they could find on their map which opened a discussion on the various pollutants around us and how we can reduce this.

On Tuesday, the Bling your Bike competition kicked off. We discussed the wide range of bikes that are available for people of all ages and abilities, including people with disabilities. P5.1 took part in a whole school competition to design a new bike with bright colours and bright, florescent features. In the end, one of our pupils won!

Wednesday marked National Fitness Day and we had lots of fun taking part in an outdoor cycle track designed by our P6 JRSO pupils, pictured below.

We tried to improve our balance and control whilst cycling by playing slalom races and High 5!

We continued the day by taking our Numeracy lessons outdoors, rounding to the nearest 10 and 100 in HUGE outdoor number lines! 🌳🌲

We hope our pupils continue to cycles as much as possible to school to help stay fit and reduce pollution.
