Safe+Cycling

During Term 2 all the Year 6 students were involved in the City Councils Safe Cycling Programme. This was run by a great team of instructors who took each class for lessons both in the classroom, in the school playground and eventually out on the local streets. The children learnt all about their bikes and whether they were safe to ride. They also had their helmets checked to ensure they fitted correctly. After learning some essential road rules the children got out to start putting it into practice. They had to pass a test to be allowed to ride on the road with the instructors. The class thoroughly enjoyed the programme and although the weather prevented us from completing it fully we all felt they learnt heaps and are now more confident when riding on the streets.
