Have you got a Scooter?
Is it in good working order?
Why not use it to scoot to school?
You can scoot with your mum, your dad, your best friend.
Its fun, it’s good for the environment and it’s healthy too.
If you do scoot to school, you should stay on the path, stop for people who are walking, check drive ways, go slowly round corners and get off your scooter when crossing the road.
And always take care and be safe and sensible.
Does your child have a scooter?
Is it in good working order?
Have you thought about them scooting to school?
Its fun, its good for the environment, its quicker and cheaper than going by car.
Regular exercise such as scooting to school contributes to a healthier life style and is seen as an effective way of tackling childhood obesity.
Your child’s school may offer scooter awareness for pupils in year 3.
The school may also have secure scooter storage available.
Think, could this be an option for you?
