Big Walk and Wheel weeks 2022 - Active travel challenge.
We had a fantastic morning with professional trails rider Andrei. He wowed us all with his amazing riding and incredible stunts. He also spoke really well to the children about how he had got to where he has through a lot of hard work, practise and resilience. He is a real life example of our learning hero Bobby Bounce Back as he talked about when he’s learning new tricks, he often fails initially but then keeps working to get it right. His message to the children was that whatever you enjoy, work hard at it and you too can be really successful.
He also asked the children to guess his four reasons why riding bikes and active travel is good:
To keep fit and healthy.
The reduce the number of cars – more space on the roads and less danger.
Its better for the environment.
Its fun!
