MEGA Motion is all about being active on your way to and from school. To help you achieve your ‘Sixty Active Minutes’, we want you and your family to leave the car behind on MEGA Fridays and walk, cycle, scoot or take the bus to school.
Recently pupils at schools across South Durham took part in a competition to tell us what their perfect MEGA Friday walk to school would be like. Each Friday children have been collecting points and a winner was chosen out of the children with maximum points for walking each week. There were loads of entries and we’re happy to announce that a pupil from our school is one of the lucky winners!
Aliesha is the proud winner of the ‘Get On Board the Explorer Express’ walk.
As a prize, on Friday 23rd all children and parents have the chance to walk to school with the Local Motion MEGA Explorers. All children are invited to dress up as explorer characters for the day if they wish – e.g. Indiana Jones, astronauts, Dora the Explorer or a safari explorer. There will be two led walks to school. If you live close to school, feel free to join the walk. If you usually drive, you could park your car nearby and join in with part of the walk. The times of all the stops are listed overleaf.
