Walk to School Week
This event will take place between 8:10am and 3:45pm on 16/05/2016 until 20/05/2016
Once again we will be supporting this event. Please join in by walking with your child to school; you will be able to:
- discuss potential hazards such as driveways, junctions, parked cars and bends
- work out together the safest route
- let your child suggest places to cross and discuss their choice
- see if they know and can use the Green Cross Code
If you don't have time to walk:
- park the car some way from the school gates and walk the last part of the journey
- try to find time to walk with them once during the week
- your child will qualify for a certificate if either option is taken
The advantages of walking:
- the chance to teach important road safety skills which cannot be taught in a car
- the chance to learn about the local environment
- a chance to chat about the day
- less congestion at the school gate
- a healthier way to start and end the day
