Questions and Comments From Kids

"Why is it one week to walk to school? why can't it be for a month or even two months, because our planet is the only one we've got."
"I think the walk to school week is a great idea who came up with it ?"
"I love walking to school with my friends. We have a great time talking to each other, looking at the birds and the trees and we feel really good because we are fighting pollution at the same time. Thank you very much for thinking up Walk to School!"
"My Mother has to go to work in the mornings so she hasn't got time to walk with me to school. She drops me off at the school gate. So many of my friends walk to school and say how great it is, I would love to join them. Any ideas?"
"I don't like walking to school. It's boring! Why should I walk to school?"
"I love Walk to School Weeks. Why can't we have more of them?"
"I have lost some of my badges, and one or two have been in the washing machine and lost their pins! I now keep them on a fabric tie hanging in my bedroom. Could I buy a full set of the badges so far?"
International Walk to School Week "Why do we have 'Walk to School Week' over just one week, why can't we have 'Walk to School Month'?"
"My mum says it is good exercise for me to walk to school and improves my concentration. My sister and i go to different schools but my mum still manages to pick us both up on time. Mum says she does power walking which keeps her fit! Leaving the car at home also means that she doesn't have to set out early to get a parking space!"
"I am in Y6 now and I want to walk to school with my friends but Mum will not let me because she thinks it is too dangerous for me as we would have to cross a main road. What should I do?"
