26/5/11 Today Melissa Jensen from Greater Wellington Regional Council came to talk to us about her trip to Europe. She is going to send us some postcards from England that tell us about her experiences of public transport over there. She showed us some photos of different types of transport she might use.

Greytown school has been promoting walking, biking, scootering, or going on the bus. One of our ideas was to make a walk and wheels club. That is when you either walk, bike, scooter, or go on the bus. This also helps make people healthy and it saves Energy and petrol, which causes less pollution. Every time you do this you get a click on your walk and wheels card. When the card is fully clicked you put your card in the the drawer with your name and room number on it.

Also to help students to know what route to take, we have a walking map. The walking map has a key, and all the streets in Greytown to help students get to school, and on time too!

We also have a walking bus which is basically a school bus except......you walk! A parent is walking on route from lots of different directions, and if there is one on your route to school you can walk too! Your parent will wait with you outside your house until the walking school bus comes round.

One of the latest ideas is the footpath recommendations. Greytown school wants more footpaths in Greytown, so students can walk to school safely. We have a selection of roads were we would like to get footpaths. Greytown school wrote a report to the council about why and were would like to get footpaths.

So thats our walking biking scootering, and going on the bus routine.

On Wednesday the10th of June at 5:30pm there was a travel plan meeting in the staff room. The Kaitiaki Crew showed a power point on the travel plan and a pie graph of how many people cycle, walk, train, family car, bus, friends car to get to school. We talked to parents about some of the problems that they have about their child/children walking/ cycling to school. by Caleb











7 September 2009. Rebecca from the Regional Council, Claudia and I have been making bus cards and walking cards for the kids who have been walking to school and if they walk they will get a stamp. Biking is included and you will still get a stamp. It is good to walk and bike because you will get more and more energy. By Kayla.
