The schools team was invited to complete a workshop with the Parkway Shopping Centre Kids Club on July 23rd 2015 as part of the centres involvement in the Limerick Smarter Travel Workplace Programme. The aim of this event was to engage young students (2-11 years) in the concept of sustainable travel through interactive play and games. This was a fantastic event which offered the schools programme an opportunity to engage with students in a new way outside of the classroom.
Children attending the workshop were split into groups to work on two interactive activities designed to raise awareness about sustainable travel options. Travel Snakes & Ladders (courtesy of Green-Schools) was lead by Siobhan and was a huge hit with all age groups. The second activity invited students to think about what they see and feel when walking and highlight them using paper cut out dolls. We were thrilled with the result!
We would like to extend our thanks to the Parkway and Giggles entertainment for inviting us to deliver this workshop. It was a true delight!
