WELLY WALKING DAY IN CUMBRIA

Children feel the walking power even as they celebrate the Welly Walking Day in Cumbria. These kids walked their way to school recently as against using a vehicle as a mode of transport. Molly Calvin and Maddie Fox were just two of the little ones who did so. These kids were from St James infants, Whitehaven. There was simply no dearth of primary schools that participated in the event even as more and more kids went their way to school on foot.

The Centre Etoile Parisienne is base for Paris Parle French Immersion programmes. Voyager Interaction encourages students to speak French to actively engage students in French Interaction Of course instructors can benefit from going outside the classroom as well.

This was in fact a county council-backed campaign encouraging kids to walk accordingly, all the while ignoring the weather.

Cumbria’s Active Travel to School scheme is also seeing teacher’s joining the endeavor to convince parents and kids to simply do away with the vehicles while on their way to schools. The simple fact here being is that it is great for their health as well as the overall health of the environment.

Walking means doing away with the vehicles and thus using them lesser that means lesser pollution and a much healthier planet. The idea behind initiatives like this is to simply convince the kids into traveling to school walking even during harsh weather conditions. For once, they may wear protecting gear while on their way and still enjoy the exhilarating experience of walking in the rain and snow.

Great Corby from Carlisle, St James’ Infants located in Whitehaven, Lanercost Church of England Primary, Workington’s Seaton Juniors, Netherton Infants, were among the schools that actively saw the participation of kids and their parents alike with much enthusiasm in the air and not a care for the harsh cold weather.

The kids flaunted their colorful willies that were full of groovy designs. Some even had Toy Story star Buzz Lightyear, flowers and cartoon characters among the many designs as delightfully worn and showed off.
