Following on from our BIG PEDAL success last term, we are looking forward to starting our Sustrans BIKE TO SCHOOL WEEK challenge tomorrow.

We are encouraging all our pupils, families and staff to travel actively to school this week... walk, cycle, scoot to school. 😃🚲🛹🛴🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ Why not help to reduce congestion in front of the school by using Convention Avenue Car Park and 'striding' the short distance to school. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

There are so many benefits to encouraging children to walk, cycle and scoot more regularly to school.

• It will reduce congestion and pollution around the school gates.
• And it will also help your child’s mental and physical health.
• Teachers find that pupils who walk and cycle arrive at school more relaxed, alert and ready to start the day than those who travel by car.

We will be recording the number of children and supporters who travel with them each day and there are some prizes to be won.🏆🏆

And for the first time SUSTRANS want to try and track how many families take part. Let them know if you and your family will be actively travelling to school this week by pledging your journeys via this link...Bike To School Week Pledge

By pledging your journeys you'll be in with a chance of winning a child's Frog Bike work up to £400. You'll also receive a free guide to walking, cycling and scooting to school with lots of great tips and activities.

Don't forget to send us your photos/videos of your active journeys to school... send to our Facebook page @StColums or email to stcolumsoffice186@c2kni.net

Many thanks for your continued support.
