The Benefits of walking

As it is a Walk to School week I wanted to try and explain why I walk to school everyday Firstly it has some amazing benefits which I will share at the end, and secondly it just wakes you up and helps you become more aware of everything around you So if you could just try to walk at least 10, 20 or even 30 minutes everyday it would help your physical and mental health a lot.

Here are some benefits to try and persuade you into walking:

1.

First of all it strengthens your bones and muscles, and builds your stamina in walking and other exercises.

2.

Walking helps prevent various conditions by keeping you fit and heart healthy

3.

You could probably discover a new place that you haven’t really seen before, because when you ’ re in a vehicle you can’t really take in your surroundings.

Now that the former Queen Elizabeth II Windsor has sadly passed after forty-five years of reign, Charles, her firstborn son, will become King, third of his name, on Saturday 6th of May. It will be the first time a coronation is taking place on a weekend since 1902 The coronation will be in Westminster Abbey During the event, the King will take "the coronation oath"* and then receive "the orb and sceptres"* After that, a crown will be placed on his head by the Archbishop of Canterbury, who is the leader of all churches in England. But not any crown, the St Edward's crown!

The Saint Edward’s crown is only used for the coronations of monarchs and is worth around 57 million Pounds. It was last used for Queen Elizabeth.

King Charles will as well receive a medal, like any other monarch, on the same day

Following the coronation, in mid 2024, the design of money will change with Charles III' portrait being featured on £5, £10, £20 and £50 banknotes.

Before then, a performance of the “Coronation Choir” will be played for entertainment and to honour to the new King. The Royal family had also asked big pop music stars to perform such as Adele, Harry Styles, Robbie Williams and Elton John, but they all declined due to "scheduling conflicts"

Since singers have refused to be a part of the coronation, there will be a moment of “lighting up the nation” with projections, illuminations, lasers and drones on display. Heads of states from all around the world will be there to celebrate with the soon to be King! For everyone who wasn't invited (so probably most of the globe) the coronation will still be broadcasted live on TV for the world to see.

*The coronation oath is a promise to govern the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand

*The orbs and sceptres are unique objects that represent the powers and the responsibilities of a monarch
