October is 'Walk to School' month. Vic Health supports walking to/from school as a way of promoting daily exercise and reducing traffic around schools. Now that the weather is warming up, it is a great opportunity to get out and about. If you live an impracticable distance from school, you could consider parking the car several blocks away and having a nice long walk. Children can also ride bikes or scooters (don't forget your helmets!) - any form of exercise counts.We have a checklist in our rooms to record children's walks and rides to school, with a certificate at the end of the month for all participants.
Grade 2 teachers have also availed themselves each Friday during October to walk to school with children. We will be at the Lara Library at 8:30a.m. If you would like to walk with us - meet us there! Parents and siblings are also welcome, but no bikes or scooters, please.
Happy walking!
Happy walking!
