Celebrate success of walking bus
Hundreds of children have taken part in attempts to create the county’s biggest walking bus.
The first Big Bus record attempt was staged in 2001 with 56 children and 32 adults.
Most years the numbers have grown and at the attempt in 2010 a total of 247 walking bus children and parents from Kent took part.
The event has previously been staged on the Saturday before Summer National Walk to School in Canterbury city centre.
It is a fun way to celebrate the success of the school walking bus scheme in Kent and Medway, which was 10 years old in 2010.
A signature element to the event is children (and parents) joining in the Walking Bus song. It works with a caller singing a line and then everyone else repeating it so is easy peasy.
X-Factor's Ben Mills, from Kent, joined a group of Walking Bus children in the recording studio to perform the track. Have a listen!
