Having run for over 20 years, the event encourages families to walk, wheel, cycle, scoot or ‘park and stride’ for the whole week to see the big differences that come from small steps, including improvements in health and fewer cars outside school gates. This year’s challenge will see pupils take on The Great Space Walk, encouraging them to travel actively to school every day of the week. Meeting colourful intergalactic friends along the way, children will learn about the important reasons to walk or wheel, and its benefits for individuals, communities and the planet. The campaign comes complete with free teaching packs for classes of up to 30 pupils, which are available in KS1/P1-3 and KS2/P4-7 variants, each featuring age-appropriate activities.
