Bikeability

The Year 4s did a great job on their Level 1 Bikeability course. Level 1 takes place on the playground and means that children can learn in a traffic-free environment. All of the children flourished during the session and felt a real sense of achievement at the end. 
The children were taught the following skills during the 2 hour session: 
Maintain your cycle: make sure your ride is in tip-top condition and make simple repairs
Glide: smooth, calm and collected
Control your bike: including setting off, cruising, slowing down, braking and stopping. You’ll even learn to pedal one handed!
Pedal: without feeling wobbly or out of control
Be aware of your surroundings: looking behind and turning around obstacles.
