Last week we were lucky enough to watch a BMX stunt show delivered by champion BMX rider Matti Hemmings from Fusion Extreme. Year 4, 5 and 6 were also lucky enough to take part in BMX workshops with Matti!
This was a reward paid for by the Schools Active Travel Team at Bristol City Council who we have worked closely with to promote walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting to and from school. The council wanted to recognise and congratulate our school and the pupils for all our hard work in recently achieving the Modeshift STARS ‘Good’ accreditation award level and to encourage more children to cycle.
This is a significant achievement, and we should all be very proud of the positive steps we are taking as a school community to leave our cars at home for those short journeys and choose to walk, wheel, cycle and scoot where possible in order to reap all of the health and environmental benefits!
Thank you to Matti and also to Bryony, our Active Travel Officer for helping to organise this.
