Te Giant Walk on Wednesday, 10th June – the longest school break!

avendish Church of England Primary School pupils, from Creception to year 6 (and a couple of rising reception pupils as well!) plus accompanying parents, carers and staf took part in the Giant Walk on the 10th June. Tis was a wonderful morning, with perfect weather conditions, and everyone completed the circular three mile walk.

As well as being a healthy walk in stunning countryside and animals to see en route, children were able to demonstrate how to be safe on roads and footpaths. Starting from the school, the group followed the footpath from the church to Water Lane, crossing over onto the path behind the playing feld and up to Ducks Hall Lane. From there, it was lunch with the welcoming party of geese and donkeys before heading back on the path (named by one of the pupils as the ‘telegraph path’) which lead the walkers back to the church and fnally back to school. Te walk started at 9.30 and fnished just afer 11, the longest break time for the whole Donations were for Brake, a road safety charity that helps to raise funds for work school! campaigning for safer roads and also provides support for families bereaved and injured by road accidents.
