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.”
