Walk and Wheel Wednesdays

Now we are moving into more wintery weather, it is important to remember that you can also bring an umbrella and wear a rain jacket.  In week 7, we had sensational walking weather.  We had 46% of the entire school walking or wheeling to school.  Congratulations to our winners for the week 4Jt with 68% and 4JX with 66% and 6SJ with 60%.  

Walk and Wheel Wednesdays have so many benefits including:

• Reduced traffic congestion
• Keeping our bodies active
• Extra quality time with family and friends.  

If you live far away or the weather is not ideal for walking, your family can park the car close by and walk part of the way to school. 

Wheeling can include various modes of transport including bike, scooter, skateboard, and unicycle.  There will be an award for the class with most walkers and wheelers in Junior School (Foundation- Grade 2) and Middle/Senior School (Grades 3- 6)

Please remember if you are riding to school, that once you arrive at the gates to get off and walk your bike to the bike storage area.  Orlando (6HR) rides his bike to school daily to keep himself healthy.  In the picture above, he is demonstrating how he walks his bike through the school. 

Two walk and wheel poems written in French by Harry and Zavier in Grade 5.

Paige and Grace have written a poem with a lovely illustration. 

Colin in 4JX has created a sensationally detailed drawing with a lovely poem

Walk to school or wheel, it's cool and definitely ideal. 

Don't use a car, and be a star!

When our world needs care, you'll be a star. 

So don't think twice, get to school fast and nice
