Active Travel Initiative for 2023
Miss Aviss and the eco-committee are very excited to inform you of the ‘official’ launch date for our active travel initiative for 2023. As a school, we want to be really mindful of how we travel to and from school; protecting our environment through reduced vehicle emissions and increasing physical activity to further benefit health.
Our official launch date is Friday 13th January 2023. On this day we would LOVE to see as many children as possible walk, scoot or cycle to school, come rain or shine! If you live further away, please feel free to park at least 5 minutes away and walk, scoot or cycle the remainder of your journey. Any child who participates in our active travel launch will receive a badge on the day!
We would love for you to continue your start to an active 2023 by trying to travel to school in an active fashion for the entirety of the week beginning 16th January 2023 for our Active Travel Week. The children will receive a sticker for each day that they participate in our active travel week and if they manage to collect 5 stickers, they will receive a certificate in our celebration assembly on Friday 20th January.
If you have any questions please contact Miss Aviss via the Office.
- You will find below a grid showing the sessions to be taught each week. They do not exactly follow days as each class has different sessions due to support and PE times being different but it allows you to see the week as a snapshot of sessions.
We will always aim to get outside, whatever the weather, as much as possible so children will really need a waterproof coat each day.
