Walk, Wheel and Enjoy the Journey to School<\/p>\n

October is International Walk to School Month, a global campaign celebrating the benefits of walking and wheeling to school. Choosing active travel for the school run can help children build healthy habits, improve physical and mental wellbeing, and reduce traffic congestion and air pollution around schools.<\/p>\n

How to Get Involved
\nWalk, wheel or scoot to school whenever possible.
\nOrganise a walking bus with other families.
\nEncourage pupils to record their active journeys.
\nCelebrate participation through classroom challenges and rewards.
\nWhy It Matters<\/p>\n

Active school journeys help children be more physically active while creating safer, healthier and more sustainable communities. Every journey made on foot instead of by car can help reduce congestion and improve local air quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
