WALKING SCHOOL BUS

A walking school bus is just like a school bus except children walk to and from school under the supervision of adult supervision, creating a safe and good journey to school.
Under the supervision of adult volunteers sometimes parents and children are collected from bus stop and dropped off at the school gates and somewhere parents want to go.  Along the way they learn how safely the road and have an opportunity to to see and share stories with their friends and neighbours.  What a great way to travel to school! Walking school buses also make an effort to reducing the amount of traffic around schools - in Auckland there are more than 200 working walking school buses, with over 4,000 children regularly walking to school. That’s a lot of active feet on the street.



Walking buses usually begin at 8.30am, but this depends on length of the route and the stop that the children get on at. Routes vary in length, usually about 1.5 km and/ or a maximum 30 minute walk. Most walking school buses walk the reverse route in the afternoon.
A walking school bus can operate all five days of the school week or as little as one day per week, depending on if the bus is okay for the people who goes inside the walking school

Taste Buds

 TASTE BUDS

Twisting on your tongue every day are your taste buds
Along the day tastes buds judge what each food tastes like.
Sweet, clean, healthy and fresh, is your taste buds always slick
Taste buds are small and thick.
Eating food after lunch makes you want to eat a brunch

Brushing your teeth makes it nice and clean.
Under your teeth are your taste buds waiting to taste
Drinking makes your taste buds jump up and down
Scrunchie food makes your taste buds go kapow.
