Competition
Green-Schools Ireland have an exciting competition this year for all cyclists!
For Bike Week this year, Green-Schools invite you to create a map on the theme of “My Bike Journey”. This isn’t just a normal map however - it’s a sensory map! You are asked to get creative and capture the things you hear, see, smell along on your bike ride and how it makes you feel. Use all 5 of your senses. Here is an example - https://greenschoolsireland.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/sensory-sound-map-edit-brighter-scaled.jpg
