Deputy Head, Mark Russell, helps our cyclists whizz up smoothies for breakfast.
Tuesday 17th May was Cycling Day at Woodcroft. Supported by Sustrans, we started with a âBikers Breakfastâ. We had over 30 children who cycled to school enjoy fruits, yoghurt, croissants and brioche. They also got to make their very own smoothie on the âsmoothie bikeâ.
After lunch we were joined by Arthur Shearlaw, a ‘Bike It Officer from Sustrans, the cycling and sustainable travel charity, who took assembly and introduced a new competition.
We then ‘Ditched our Stabilisers’ after school with a special learning to ride session for our younger riders.
