This week is Walk to School Week. Today we got a leaflet, bookmark and sticker from the JRSO reminding us of the importance to WALK TO SCHOOL.

This links in with our topic on ‘Weather and Climate Change’ as we’re trying to think of ways to reduce our Carbon Footprint and Global Warming.

Why not try one of these ways of getting to school this week, INSTEAD of the car?:

  • Walking
  • Cycling
  • Skateboarding
  • Scooting

You do however have to make sure you are being SAFE whilst using these travel methods. In the darker nights, we need to make sure that we: ‘BE SAFE- BE SEEN’. We should:

  • Wear bright, fluorescent clothing.
  • Have lights/reflectors on our bikes.
  • Wear helmets and protective clothing when going on our bikes, skateboards and scooters.
  • LOOK LEFT- RIGHT and LEFT AGAIN when crossing the road.

See you all tomorrow.
REMEMBER: BE SAFE-BE SEEN
