HT Update – 20.3.23

Sustrans – Big Walk & Wheel 20 – 31 March 2023

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is the UK’s largest walking, wheeling, scooting and cycling challenge. It inspires pupils to make active journeys to school, improve air quality in their neighbourhood and discover how these changes benefit their world.

It’s more important now than ever to travel actively. Active travel is a great way to build physical activity into children’s daily routine. It helps them arrive to school  more relaxed and alert, and is great for their mental wellbeing too.

On each day of the challenge schools compete to see who can record the greatest number of pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.

A school’s best five days will determine their final position and schools at the top of their leaderboards will receive an exclusive Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel Cerificate.

All schools will be entered into daily prize draws for  rewards if over 15% of your school takes part on each day of the challenge. Prizes up for grabs include accessories and equipment to help your school travel actively.

Leave the car at home and join us in active travel to school.

Eggs, Eggs, Eggs!

1 Comment

Today we have had lots of Easter fun. Most of it has involved eggs, boiled and chocolate!

We have had lots of fun in class looking at all the decorated eggs as part of our competition, teachers found it very difficult to decide on the winning design. Some classes went outside to roll their eggs in the playground to see who could roll the farthest and we have had an Easter Egg Hunt in school, if you were lucky enough to find a paper egg hidden around school then you could trade it for a chocolate one!

 

Here are some photos of our fun filled day. Happy Easter!

Congratulations to the winner of our Easter Egg Raffle, Kyle!
