Get involved in a ‘beach clean’
The Great British Beach Clean is a week-long citizen science event, where hundreds of beach cleans take place up and down the UK. Litter data collected drives conservation work and also feeds into the International Coastal Clean-up (ICC).
This year’s Great British Beach Clean will take place between Friday 17th – Sunday 26th September 2021.
Organised by Sustrans and supported by the Bikeability Trust, Bike to School Week celebrates cycling to school and the benefits of travelling actively for children.
To support schools throughout Bike to School Week, there’s a range of resources available. These include:
- school posters
- five curriculum-linked daily activities to be completed in class for Early Years Foundation through to Key Stage 3
- a video guide with simple practices to check your bike is safe to ride
- school presentations
These activities aim to inspire pupils to think about their journeys to school, understand the benefits of active travel, and consider the causes and effects of air pollution.
All families that fill in Sustrans’ short online form to tell them their children will take part will automatically be entered into a free prize draw to win a Frog bike.
