Walk to School Week – 6th-10th June 2016 The first week of the 2nd half of the Summer Term marks our annual Walk to School Week. It is a national incentive, aimed at making children become more environmentally conscious and journey to school using an ecologically friendly method of travelling. For one week, your child is encouraged to make an extra special effort and travel to school by foot, scooter or bicycle for each day of the week. They could be really adventurous and try skateboarding or rollerblading! Here at Hounslow Town we will be promoting initiatives to get everyone moving. The theme of this year’s Walk to School Week is wildlife. Hounslow Town will be receiving a visit from Debra the Zebra, who is part of the Council’s Road Safety awareness campaign and who will be sharing the benefits of walking to school with KS1. Everyone will be encouraged to take part in our design a Walk to School certificate, which will have the theme of habitats to inspire our entrants. The closing date will be 7th June and the winner will be announced at the end of the Walk to School Week. Everyone at Hounslow Town enjoys dressing up! So this year, to tie in with our theme of wildlife; all children will be encouraged to dress up as an animal of their choice, or wear an animal themed piece of clothing for a small contribution of £1. The proceeds of which will go to our fundraising event which will be to purchase outdoor equipment for each class. Our fund raising event will be connected to our animal dress up! Each child will be asked to complete circuits of the playground, preferably in animal costume and mimicking the movement of an animal of their choice. WATCH THIS SPACE FOR WHAT DAY YOU NEED TO DRESS UP! The week promises to be fun for all involved and we urge you to help your child enjoy the benefits of a healthier method of travelling to school, after all the summer starts now and when better to get out and exercise those legs!
