One of the children at the Killearn Nursery said
“I like cycling to school and the park and cycling to tennis. It’s good exercise, it keeps you healthy”
A generation ago, 70% of British children walked to school. Unfortunately, this number has declined drastically and less than half of the children now walk to school regularly.
It’s such a shame as walking, cycling and wheeling to school is good for you AND the environment, and it’s fun – chatting and laughing with your friends as you go!
Instilling a love of cycling, wheeling or walking in little people could have long-lasting benefits and inspire them to have good habits in adult life, too.
So, we asked the nurseries to join us at the Cycling Wheeling and Walking Event. Mulberry Bush Montessori joined our big pedal colouring competition. Killearn Primary School talked with the kids about active travel and created a lovely display with quotes and pictures of the children.
Both nurseries received a voucher from Country Cycles for their excellent work!
This project envisions welcoming and safe paths for all for everyday journeys, including school runs.
Let’s make this happen so our young people can enjoy active travel!
