September ‘Walk to School’ Badge Winners

7th October 2024elister

Well done to our September badge winners for being active travelling to school in September. Children are welcome to come to school on bikes, scooters or roller skates. Please remember to be safe and to walk with bikes and scooters on the playground. Even if you walk to school you are still being active! By parking cars away from the school gates and walking a distance to school you will be parking and striding. Remember to log your active journeys each morning at school. Keep being active!
