As part of the Sustran Active School Travel Programme, which aims to encourage more journeys to school by foot or wheels, we had our ‘Ditch the Dark Day on October 7th. Active travel, such as cycling, walking and scooting to and from school has great health benefits. Many of our children met at the Church carpark and either walked, rode bikes or rode scooters to school.
Within their classes, the children then did activities on wearing bright clothes when on the roads and they also did other road safety activities.
A number of our children were given a lesson on how to move from riding a bike with stabilizers to riding without stabilizers. We were amazed at how successful this was in such a short session.
