We took part in the Walk to School Challenge which started on October 2nd. All children in the school were asked to walk from the church carpark to school and back again when school finished for five days.
Junior Infants and new pupils to our school took part for the first time. Walking from the church carpark to school and back is roughly 1km in total.
13 large balloons of CO2 gas is created each time a car travels 1 km.
WOW(Walk on Wednesday Challenge)
We decided to do a school challenge on Wednesday. All children gathered in the church carpark before 9am and walked up to school. All children were encouraged to walk to the church carpark after school. A tally was taken to record how many km we walked.
In total we walked 88km on Wednesday which is equivalent to stopping 1,144 balloons full of CO2 gas going into to the atmosphere.
Well done to everyone for doing so well !
