Pupils from a Dartford primary have been rewarded for helping the environment and themselves by walking to school.
More than 180 primary schools in Kent and Medway take part in Wow and Walking Bug schemes and on Challenge Day classes with the highest number of walkers are named winners and receive trophies and prize packages.
Children from Manor Community Primary School were the Dartford champions and were invited to the Big Blue Rock climbing wall at Bluewater for a presentation event.
Children from the winning Disney class received their award and will be presented with free child tickets for attractions throughout Kent.
Six-year-old Kieran from the class said: “We were very excited to get the award.”
WOW and Walking Bug encourage children to walk to school with their family and friends.
Each child has their own tally card and collects stickers when they walk.
As well as the KM Group, WOW and Walking Bug, which are KCC and Medway Council- led initiatives, are sponsored by Bel UK (Mini Babybel), Ringway, Eurostar, Leeds Castle and the Powell Cotton Museum and Gardens .
