STRIDERS BIG ADVENTURE DIARY

Strider visits St Marnock's Primary School in Glasgow

I went to visit St Marnock's Primary School where pupils in class P6a have been taking part in a pilot project of the WoW scheme since September 2007.

Pupils decided walking just one day a week was not enough to earn a badge so they set themselves the challenge of walking at least three days a week!

Most of the pupils in the class now walk to school at least 3 times a week to obtain their WOW badge. Class P6a and their teacher Mrs Thomson have become WOW ambassadors for the whole school, as all classes in St Marnock's are now taking part in WOW.

P6a then invited me along to take part in their afternoon session of athletics. We all had great fun. Keep up with good work St Marnock's!
