Walk the Torch To London!

At the start of term 3, our whole school began a long journey to "Walk the Torch to London".

You may have noticed that your children were asking to walk, cycle, scooter or part walk to school more often!!

This was an intiative from Travelwise.

It has been a fun thing to participate in and has encouraged more children to come to school in a Travelwise way.

For every morning and afternoon that children came to school in a Travelwise way (walking, cycling, scootering or parking and walking), they recieved 1 point.

If they came to or from school in a Travelwise way on a rainy day, then they received 2 points. To reach London, we needed a total of 300 points.

Our points started to build up quickly and on Thursday morning of week 2, Room 8 made it to London!

We are continuing our journey in Room 8 - we want to see if we can get up to 550 points before next Friday!

We went and had a photo taken with some of the junior classes that also made it to London in time - keep a look out for our picture in the Western Leader!
