Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel is a national event and inspires pupils to be amazing and take active journeys to school.
On each day of the challenge, schools compete to see who can get the highest percentage of their pupils walking, using a wheelchair, scooting or cycling to school.
The JTAs are working really hard to organise lots events over the 2 weeks of the Big Walk and Wheel. Here are some of the things they are organising:
The Golden Lock - each day the JTAs will pop the Golden Lock onto either a scooter or a bike. If you are the lucky person, go to find Miss Rickards at the end of the day and she will unlock it and you can choose a prize from the prize box.
Bling Your Bike or Scooter competition
Wednesday 23rd March - How fancy can you make your bike or scooter? Decorate it safely and the JTAs will decide on a winner. There are some lovely prizes.
The Bike Doctor
On Thursday 24th March bring in your Bikes and leave them with the Bike Dr who will check them over for free to make sure they are all ok and safe.
Councillor Baillie will be visiting the school on Thursday 24th March to talk to the JTAs and The School Council about what Southampton City Council do to help our environment. Also, it will be a great opportunity for the JTAs to share what they do to promote active travel.
Poster Competition
The JTA's will be running a poster competition and would like all entries returned by this date. Again there are some great prizes to be won.
Bikers Breakfast
Thursday 31st March there will be a table set up next to the bike shelter and anyone arriving with their bike and an adult can have some of the tasty breakfast snacks on offer.
So there are lots of things going on around school, let's all enjoy being a bit more active on the school journey.
