Happy Halloween to all our families.

Next week is National Walk to Schools Week with Wednesday being National Walk on Wednesday.

 

This is part of the Green School Initiative and we encourage all families to make an extra effort next week to walk part of their journey to school.

 

We have the perfect facility for Park and Stride and encourage all families to park at the church and walk to the school gate.

 

For those that live close enough we encourage you to walk the full route to school.

 

Our Green School Committee will be keeping record of all the pupils in their class that walk all or some of the way to school and there will be a reward for our walking champions at the end of the week.

 

Hopefully the weather will allow us all to participate.
