Year Five Ready Steady Go Session 1

 Today Year Five explored the benefits of active travel.  First, we downloaded a digital workbook from Travelwise and completed a quiz to discover our prior knowledge of how active travel benefits our mental health, physical health and the environment.

Next, we split into teams to complete a giant jigsaw. While the other team was puzzling we read a journal article about active travel and went on a quick litter hunt. 



It was fun to problem-solve together against the clock to create the giant jigsaw.  Afterwards, we annotated our jigsaw with flags to point out all the ways choosing to walk, bike, scooter or use public transport can help us to feel healthy and happy. 

AND the winners were:

First - Room 22 & 15 Girls 6:20

Second - Rooms 22 & 15 Boys 6:22

Third - Rooms 20&21 Boys 8:10

Rooms 20&21 Girls 8:26

Communication was key to quick team work!

Check out a time lapse video of the Room 20&21 Boys working together: 

Next time we're looking forward to a giant jigsaw rematch, with a new puzzle that will help us learn how to identify and negotiate road hazards.

Thank you Travelwise for the awesome resources!
