Widmer End Combined and Pre School in High Wycombe are encouraging their pupils to walk to school with the help of a crocodile!
Crocodiles are organised walking buses that offer a way for children to travel safely to school without using a car.
They can help to improve children's fitness, develop road safety awareness and reduce traffic congestion and pollution around schools.
With more than 100 children taking part, Bucks Radio payed a visit to see the crocodile in action.
The school is in the middle of a housing development, meaning it gets very busy with cars during drop off and pick up time. This has been a concern for residents, as it makes it difficult for emergency services to get down the roads.
Head Teacher Gemma Hillier said: “We like to promote active living, active learning, get the children really physical, and just try and make sure that where possible children are walking to school rather than driving.”
It's due to an accident involving a car and a lorry at the Tesco Roundabout (11/7). There are lane closures in place on the approach to the High Street, with delays likely to continue while emergency services deal with the incident.
