Wheely Fun Day

Posted on June 28, 2019 by Mrs K. McWeeny • 0 Comments

The Reception children have been taking an active part in the Walk to School Week and Clean Air Day. All week we have been trying to come to school without the car and we have taken part in a Daily Mile challenge each day too. However, today, we made a special effort to come to school with our bikes and scooters. We spent time decorating them this morning – the time and concentration the children spent on making their bikes look so amazing was incredible! Every child was fully involved in making their bike or scooter look special by tying on ribbon and tinsel, sticking on baubles and other decorations – our outdoor area has never been so sparkly! This afternoon we had chance to ride them in the big yard. It was a ‘wheely good day!’
