Setting up a WoW Walking Zone - Teachers pack

Setting up a WoW Walking Zone - Teachers pack



What is a walking zone?

A Walking Zone sets a clearly defined area around the school inside which everybody has to walk in order to qualify for their WoW badge. This has the advantage of:

  • Increasing fairness - no more parking 2 steps from the gate!
  • Giving parents a clear indication of how far "5 minutes walk" really is
  • Encouraging the children to walk further
  • About the pack

    This pack was developed by Ecolocal with funding from Transport for London. The aim of this pack is to involve children in developing a WoW Walking Zone around their school. In doing so they are able to explore issues around congestion, pollution , climate change and healthy living.

    The pack is primarily aimed at KS2 and has been designed to link in with QCA schemes of work for Geography (Unit 6 - Investigating our Local Area and Unit 8 - Improving the Environment).

    It also links with Literacy (Creating and Shaping Texts), Numeracy (Measurement) and PSHE (How do Rules and Laws Affect Me?).

    The 5 lessons and resources in this pack are designed to be flexible and adaptable. It can be taught over one half term, or over a designated week. It can be used with Y3 or Y4 or could be extended for older children.
