Walk to School Week

REMINDERS:

  • Think of 3 ADJECTIVES to describe ‘My Hero’ and bring these in for writing tomorrow.
  • Watch the clip by clicking the link at the bottom of the page, and comment on this post with the ‘MAIN MESSAGE’ from the clip for Friday 5th October 2012.

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.

Click on the link below to watch the video about AMIR’s story. Once you have watched the video- post a comment on this blog about what you think the message was from the video. This is to be done for Friday.

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