With the changing of the clocks and the lengthening of the days, this April brings us all some much needed optimism and brightness. Here are some activities and resources to help you plan your lessons.

Walk to Work Day
Friday 1st April 2022
Walking to school or work can have huge health and environmental benefits and is really worth the effort.
As the mornings get brighter and the temperature rises, April is a wonderful time to get outdoors and build a positive habit.
Walking has numerous positive impacts on our health including weight loss and increased concentration for the rest of the day. While avoiding using fuel powered vehicles also impacts positively on the environment, further improving our health.
Keep safe & enjoy.

This day is an opportunity to teach pupils how important our planet is and how their interconnectedness to other children means that we all play an important part in keeping the planet healthy.
