JTAs run a very successful Scooter Breakfast
We came 3rd in Southampton for Scooter Challenge!!! We have won a scooter stunt show from Terry Price! Well done everyone.
What a fantastic a fantastic Scooter Challenge Week and Clean Air Day
Well done everybody who made a small change this week and actively travelled on their scooter. It has been a great success! Thank you to the JTAs who organised a Scooter Breakfast. This was well attended and a huge success. The JTAs suggested that next time we should have some picnic benches and music, a fabulous idea!
Teachers handed out an activity sheets for the morning activity and there were some incredible poems, pictures and posters produced in a very short time! We have so many talented and creative people at Sholing Juniors.
Keep up the active travel everyone and lets all work together to repair the air.
Clean Air Day Thursday 16th June
We all want our air to be cleaner and healthier for us to breath so we all need to work together to reduce the air pollution, let's all make one small step to repair the air.
In the UK, the transport sector is the biggest source of greenhouse gases that are contributing to the global climate emergency. The good news is that if we all work together and commit to small steps, our collective action can create big change! So let's make one small change a week to reduce the air pollution, swap one car journey for an active journey(walk, scoot, cycle or take the bus). Maybe swap a car journey into Southampton city centre with a bus ride into the city centre. If you need to use your car for the school run because of distance or your going onto work then try a Park and Stride - that's parking 10 minutes away(eg the Veracity) and walking/scooting the rest of the way. You will save money on petrol, get extra exercise and reduce pollution, perfect!
Small Steps = Big Change
Watch this space for great competitions to win some fabulous prizes.
Scooter Challenge 13th -17th June
We’re pleased to announce the Clean Air Scooter Challenge is back for 2022. The challenge provides schools with an opportunity to encourage their pupils to scoot to school and the chance to win some great prizes.
This year's challenge will take place from 13th to 17th June 2022. Actively travel to school, with a scooter if you have one and record how you travel to school on Travel Tracker as usual. At the end of the week, the schools with the highest average number of children scooting to school will win some amazing active travel prizes including:
- Scooter School Programme delivered by Professional scooter rider Terry Price
- Scooter Pods
- Adult Scooters
Scooting is a fun and active way for children to get to and from school. Plus, for those who live too far to scoot all the way to school, scooters are compact enough to fit in the car. This allows parents to park 5-10 minutes away from the school site so children can scoot from the boot.
