We are delighted to be taking part again in the Walk On Wednesday (WoW) campaign. WoW has a proven track record of helping schools to increase numbers of their pupils walking to school. This means safer, less polluted roads around school plus all the benefits of physically activity pupils.
Our fab Year 5 Junior Road Safety Officers Humaira, Fleur, Baran & Jose gave a super introduction and explained that the children will win a cool WoW badge for every month in which they travel to school by foot/bike/scooter each Wednesday. Shacklewell will also be able to compete with other Hackney Schools in order to win the prestigious Golden Shoe trophy, plus other exciting monthly prizes and incentives.
Jose also reassured children who are driven to school or come by public transport that they also have the opportunity to participate by ‘parking and striding’ and walking part of the journey.
