The Big Pedal 2017

‘On Tuesday 21st March 2017 the whole school took part in a scooterthon. We took it in turn to scoot around a special track that had been created around the school. Year 3 had a total of 30 scooters and people were kind enough to share their scooters and take it in turns to scoot around the track. We had lots of fun and the total for Year 3 was 480 laps in 30 minutes! We had so much fun and we hope that we can do it again soon!’
