World Walking Day in the Primary School

World Walking Day was observed in Israel this year on October 26. What is World Walking Day? According to the Ministry of Education, it is simply a day to learn about the importance of physical activity – and to practice. Walking is a simple, common activity — one that requires no special equipment, courts, memberships or fields — but its benefits can last a lifetime. Of course, the children were reminded to wear comfortable shoes and to come equipped with hats and water bottles – and plenty of energy. Walking with Idan, the physical education teacher, their homeroom teachers, and Neama, the principal and other teaching staff, one class at a time, the children were reminded that sometime the thing that is good for you can also be fun.
