Travel Titans         

What is the role of a Travel Titan?

The Travel Titans will work closely alongside Miss Rashid and Miss Sibanda to complete work for our school travel plan. They will support in promoting active travel and in educating our pupils on road, bike and scooter safety. They will help carry out and promote events throughout the year, they will carry out assemblies which will be videoed and sent to the other classes and they will help run competitions and campaigns across the school.

Appointing our Travel Titans

In September each class placed a vote for a person to be their class Travel Titan. This person will work closely with Miss Rashid and Miss Sibanda across the year to encourage active and safe travel.

Design a Logo for Kate Strong competition

Our children will be taking part in a 'Design a Logo' competition for Kate Strong, 3x Static Cycling World Record Holder and AG World Champion Triathlete (2014). She will be undertaking a Climate Cycle challenge to promote steps we can all take to be more healthy and protect our environment.  The competition is to design a logo for Kate's bamboo bike to promote health and sustainability. We can't wait to see all of the logo entries in our in-school competition before submitting our one school entry .

  

Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel 2023 

We will be taking part in Sustrans Big Walk and Wheel, a 10-day challenge from the 20th March which will be promoted by our Travel Titans. On each day of the challenge, schools will be competing to see who can record the greatest proportion of pupils travelling actively to school.  

This challenge aims to inspire pupils to make active journeys to school, to improve quality in our neighbourhood and help discover how these changes benefit our world. We can’t wait to see how many of our pupils will be walking, scootering or cycling to school on each day of the challenge.  

 

 My Park Project:

Children returned to school after the Christmas holidays with their creative'my dream park' models for our first ever Geography project! It was lovely to see how recycled materials could be repurposed and designed to build something we love. Our Travel Titans had an important job , voting for their winners and awarding them prizes and certificates in assembly. We can't wait to see what you create with your child in the next project!
