Walk to School Week a Great Success

This week in school, we have been encouraging all the boys and girls in school to make the healthy and active choice of walking to school.

Walking to school has many benefits including, helping the children be more alert for lessons in school and contributing to a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age.

All the children who took part, received a sticker for each day they walked to school.

We even had a group who organised a 'walking bus' from the Old Park Road during the week, albeit in the rain!  The kids loved it! Wellies, trainers and rain coats on for a walk to school from the countryside. Needless to say the mum's got drenched on the way home!

The whole week has been a tremendous success.  We would very much encourage all children in school to continue with this excellent habit of walking to school.
