Musical procession makes the school run fun
On Thursday, a ‘big walk in’ took place, starting from Caffyns Field park in Beach Road, Littlehampton at 8am and finishing at River Beach Primary School.
Families met with their musical instruments to make a noise about walking to school, and a chorus of sounds filled the air during the journey.

Refreshments were provided at school courtesy of the Parent and Teachers’ Association.
Sue Bingham from the school said: “Hopefully early risers around Littlehampton are more aware of the benefits of walking and other school families passing along the route in their cars were given a chance to reflect.”
She said their pupils were ‘good at arriving to school on time’, whether it be by cycling, scooting or walking.
The school also has ‘Park and Stride’ car parks so that parents do a shorter journey and walk the rest of the way.
