Walk to School Month – October
October is International Walk to School Month where children, parents, teachers, and community leaders around the world celebrate the benefits of walking.
Walking and spending time outdoors has many benefits to us including:
- Improving your mood
- Great form of fresh air
- Increase your fitness
- Raises energy levels
- Increase concentration levels
- Discover local neighbourhoods and local surroundings
- Reducing anxiety and stress levels
Walk to School Month Challenge
Active Essex are providing schools with a FREE Walk to School Bingo Checklist, whereby pupils can tick off how many items they see either walking to school, from school or after school throughout the month. From birds to benches, trees to post-boxes, see how many you will find on your journey!
Share your school’s achievements!
It will be great to hear how your school are getting on throughout their travel. Share you schools achievement on social media by tagging @ActiveEssex and we will be sure you get in touch!
