This afternoon the Eco Committee of St. Albert’s Primary held an assembly about our forthcoming walking bus. The purpose of the assembly was to explain what a walking bus is to pupils and the benefits of travelling to school this way, for the environment and for the pupil’s own health and well being. At the end of the assembly lots of pupils raised their hands to show that they would be interested in taking part in our walking bus when it begins.

The assembly was also an opportunity to earn house points by answering questions about walking to school and how doing so can cut the school carbon footprint. From our three houses, Earth, Wind and Fire, Earth won 100 points for their house by answering questions correctly. Here are some photos from our assembly.
