A huge thank you to all children and families who have actively travelled to school over the last two weeks for the Big Walk and Wheel and supporting us in this challenge.

Today, all pupils in Primary 1 to Primary 7 received a Hi Vis vest to celebrate our achievements and to encourage the pupils to continue actively travelling to school throughout the year, keeping safe by wearing their Hi Vis vests on darker mornings.

Over the last two weeks, we have had a daily average of 57% of our pupils actively travelling to school in the morning, totalling more than 1880 journeys. Fantastic!! We hope the pupils have felt the benefits each morning as well as the positive impact this has had on our village.

Sustrans - Final Home Activity

A message from Dave Wiggins, our Sustran's Officer;

Hello there!

First of all a massive congratulations to all staff, parents and most importantly pupils of Waringstown Primary School for achieving the Sustrans Gold Award. Your hard work over the past four years has really paid off.

The final activity I will be sending out this year is called ‘Routes To School’ and is designed to get you and your family thinking about how they will travel to school in September.

Maybe they have been walking and cycling more and enjoying it or maybe Mum/Dad/Carer will be working from home more and have more flexibility around travelling to and from school.

Here is a link to the introductory YouTube video

The worksheet is attached.

Could I also ask, if you have a minute, could you complete this short survey for some feedback? The school may win a small prize....

I hope you have a restful summer.

Warm regards,

Dave
