Walking with Cheetham Community School

Get Walking Keep Walking partnered up with Cheetham Community School for 6 weeks. Each week we walked a different route through Cheetham Hill and each walk had a different theme, these included safety, nature, fun and adventure. The children had a task to do every week and wore their step counters to see how many steps they could do. One of the most popular tasks was taking photographs with our Get Walking cameras. The children were asked to take photos of a number of differnt things that they saw and did on the walk and the emphasis was on sharing the cameras and their walking experiences with their friends. Get Walking would like to thank the children from Year 2 at Cheetham Community School and especially Miss Taylor and Miss Ayub for their support.
