👇Why closing our school will make this bumper to bumper #traffic even worse…

A proposal by Cathedral Schools Trust will see Hotwells close. Cathedral Primary will take over our building.
A school split over 2 sites a mile apart will inevitably lead to more #SchoolRun traffic

🤸🏾‍♀️It’s #InternationalDayOfPlay🤸🏼‍♂️

The U.N. says children have a right to play. Grumpy or distracted adults can often forget that.
#Play is free, great exercise, supports good mental health and is a break from screen time. Thus a perfect activity for grumpy adults too.

🚲It’s #WorldBicycleDay!🚲

Here in #Bristol we’re lucky to have an MP who’s a great advocate for cycling.
Last year Carla Denyer joined us on the #KidicalMass ride and hopefully she’ll join again on SAT 14th JUNE. Will you?

Meet: Castle Park, 11am, a city centre family ride

👊Big thanks to former kid and local Green councillor Patrick McAllister…

who’s been to all of our #PlayStreets
Many adults have forgotten the joy and creativity that play can bring, especially after a long week at school.

👇This is what FREEDOM looks like!

Our #PlayStreet last Friday allowed kids to cycle, climb, pull ropes, scoot, roll hula hoops and make a chalky mess

🚧This joy can be so easily missed unless we make an effort to prioritise space for #play

Depends how it’s measured.
✅Kids spilling out of the school gates safely
✅Friends wheeling up and down the road together
✅Parents relaxed and having space to chat

Helloooo!
This is our first post (as recent twitter emigrés) so it feels like calling into the empty wilderness.
🗣️Give us a shout back if this reaches you.

The photo below shows a regular morning drop off and is a perfect example of why we need a #SchoolStreet
