The Big Pedal 2014. Today Roger from SUSTRANS came to assembly to tell us all about 'The Big Pedal 2014' - an inter-school cycling and scooting competition which encourages children, teachers and parents to cycle or scoot to school. This year's 'Big Pedal' will take place between the 3rd and 14th March. The more of us who scoot and cycle to school each day, the more points our school will earn. Schools right across the UK will be competing against each other with more than twenty fantastic prizes up for grabs including bike and scooter stunt displays, bikes and scooter parking bays.
Cycling is so much fun and keeps us fit and active. We will log our school's data every day on the Big Pedal website and participants will be rewarded with a wheelie character to add to their own Big Pedal wallchart. The characters' design will depend on how many of us cycled and scooted to school that day. The aim is to fill the wallchart with as many super-strength, super-powered superhero wheelies as possible. All school's results are published each day on the website and we can track how Llangewydd and other local schools are doing throughout the race. On Friday 14th March, the final day of the competition, we will have a 'Superhero Day' where we will dress up as superheroes and raise funds to support Sustrans' work in schools. So, after half term, it would be great if as many of you as possible could cycle or scoot to school or even part of the way if parents would prefer you to cycle/scoot a shorter/safer distance.
