Thank you for your continued hard work and dedication throughout the past year. We really appreciate your hard work with STARS and active travel despite these unprecedented times that we are living in.
During this lockdown period we want to remind everyone of the importance of getting outdoors for some daily exercise. Even a short walk or cycle to break up the day while teachers, parents and pupils are working and studying at home will benefit us all and support our physical and mental wellbeing.
TfL Stars has some useful home learning activities for all year groups. https://stars.tfl.gov.uk/HomeLearning
Think! Have some excellent online road safety resources that can help children to think about their safety when out in their local streets. You may wish to share these with your community.
We are still here to support you throughout the lockdown!
Best Wishes
The Smarter Travel Team
