What is it?

WOW is “Walk or Wheel Once a Week”.

We have selected a day during the week to encourage everyone to walk or travel by wheel to

school. This will be Friday (Thursday in Week 8- 6th June).

Starting on Friday 3rd May in Term 2, we will be walking and wheeling for 6 weeks through to

Friday, 14th June.

Each class will have a WOW wall calendar to record the weekly participation.

The class who walks/wheels the most will receive the Golden Boot Award!

When is it?

Starts on Friday  3rd May and goes for 6 weeks until Friday 14th June.

Why are we taking part in the WOW?

We are working with the Council, which wants to help encourage our school students to walk,

ride, scoot, or skate to school.

It’s great to improve health with daily exercise. We want to see more students being active

when travelling to school, and it helps to decrease the traffic around school.

We also want to help improve road safety knowledge.

Let’s use our road safety knowledge so we can all stay safe travelling to school and practice using road safety skills.

Remember to use ‘Stop, Look, Listen and Think’, before you cross the road.

Let’s remember to slow down before driveways.

Remember the safety door - the kerb side when getting out of the car.

The Year 6 leaders will promote and monitor this initiative.
