We've provided some balance bikes or scooters to our schools with @TeamModeshift accreditations in high areas of deprivation. Pupils at @OasisFirVale have been putting these to good use improving their balancing and bike handling skills
Great to join pupils from @High_Hazels_Ac a co-design workshop at Darnall Wellbeing as part of #SheffCouncil’s Safer & Sustainable School Journeys project.
@Ed_Clancy MBE OBE listened to the children's experiences and spoke about his experience of cycling to school
It was all smiles at #ManorLodgePrimary’s #ActiveTravelBreakfast yesterday w/ headteacher Mr Yates & pupils celebrating the World Cup ⚽
Afterwards, our team held a joint assembly with Commonwealth & European Badminton champion, @Jennywallwork, promoting #ActiveTravel 💚
The team had a great time running a smoothie bike at @OasisFirVale 's Summer fayre last week.
Pupils loved making a healthy smoothie using the power of their legs alone and we spoke to lots of parents about active travel to school. 🚴♀️ 💚
Yesterday, Year 2 pupil at @CarfieldPrimary took part in #ScooterSkills sessions 🛴
They demonstrated emergency stops, passing pedestrians, and steering skills!
They had a great time & even discussed how travelling actively to school is better for their health & environment 💚
So good seeing #SchoolStreets plants yesterday in the glorious sunshine, helping to green the city landscape and bring cheer to all 💚
We were on our way to spend the morning with Smokey Joy, Cllr Alexi Dimond & teachers at @NetherEdgeHead for our #ActiveTravelBreakfast

What a day! 💚
