Walk to School week 1st -5th June

During walk to school week the class with the most children walking to school each day will win a trophy. Our school council are organising the event and will be on the school gate each day to hand out walk to school vouchers. To inspire children to walk to school some of the council members have written an acrostic poem. 

Why walk to school?
W- Walking to school provides healthy exercise
A-  Awake alert and happy (scientists have proven this)
L–  Looking around us. Sometimes we don’t look closely at our surroundings 
K-  Know your neighbours. Say “good morning” the people we live near.
T-  Talking time to chat. Talk to mum, dad brothers and       sisters
O-  Oxygen. Breathing deeply will keep your lungs working well
S – Safer. The roads are safer for everyone else if there are fewer cars on the 
      roads so don’t get in the car to school 
C-  Clean air. If we travel less in cars, there will be less pollution in the air.
H-  Healthy exercise makes you fitter. 
O-  On time for school.
O-  Our family can do something together.
L-   Look out for friends and meet them on the way.
