Sustrans Big Pedal - School Assembly today

Sustrans “Big Pedal” – starting next week (lasting a fortnight)

 

Today in our school assembly we had a visit from Jonathan Dixon, our school’s Sustrans Officer.

 

Sustrans is an organisation that promotes the use of Bicycles and Scooters.

Jonathan talked to the children about how to make sure their cycling helmets are fitted properly. He then introduced a special Sustrans event taking place over the next fortnight.
Next Monday sees the start of “The Big Pedal”.
We will be recording the number of journeys to and from school made on Bicycles and Scooters. The data is then used in a national and local competition to see which schools are able to get the greatest percentages of Bicycle and Scooter use during the fortnight.
In the last three years, we have done very well in this event and have been among the local prize-winners.
On Tuesday 21^st March we are holding a “Bike It Breakfast”. All children that come to school by Bicycle or Scooter will be given a breakfast snack, fruit and a drink.
