Sports Crew
In addition to our Sports Crew's role in PE lessons, their focuses this year will be to support school sporting events and active travel initiatives. They will help promote the half-termly Walk to School Days by Zero Carbon Harrogate, to inspire all pupils, staff and parents to regularly take active journeys to school. They will help record the active journeys made on these days. By joining in, we hope to promote our community’s physical and mental wellbeing, as well as our hopes for a greener planet. Sports Crew will also assist with the running of sporting events at school, such as sports afternoons and competitions to further develop the culture of sport at Oatlands Junior School.
Each half-term, Sports Crew make brilliant posters like the one below to promote Walk to School Day.
They display them in their classrooms and are in charge of reminding their classmates to travel actively each Walk to School Day.
Sports Crew will also be working closely with our Eco Committee to promote the Oatlands Infant and Junior School Bike Bus
On Friday 20th December 2024 we joined Oatlands Infants and Junior School Bike Bus.
Sports Crew will promote each months Bike Bus and encourage families to join on their bikes and scooters, travelling from the Stray, via Oatlands Infant School and onto Oatlands Junior School.
The scheme, organised by parent volunteers in conjunction with Sustrans, hopes to encourage more families to use bikes and scooters to get into schools and reduce the number of cars on the roads in the local area.
Look on the school calendar for future dates.
