• Walk to School Week

  Mon 17 Oct 2016 H.King
  This week is ‘Walk to School Week’ and we would like to encourage our families to walk to school. We understand that some of our families may live too far to enable them to walk to school, but maybe park by St.Gregory’s church or the local shops and walk a short way to school. This encourages your child to keep fit , healthy and also helps with pollution issues.
  Each child that participates in ‘Walk to School Week’ will earn a merit for their class, the class with the most merits will have extended play time on Thursday.
