Discussions were had among each class about the modes of transport the children use to come to and from school. This information was shared by our school councillors for each class at their most recent meeting. It was really reassuring and positive to know that more families are choosing to use the school walking bus to come to school, more children this year than last are travelling to school on electric bikes and others are able to scoot or ride their own bikes. Of the children who need to travel to school by car, many car share.
We talked about the carbon emissions of different modes of transport. There was great interest and a really positive awareness from even the youngest children in the school as to why it is so important to cut carbon emissions.
