Bikeability

Year 5 Bikeability
Over the past week, Year 5 have taken part in an exciting and important life skill course – Bikeability! The children were split into two groups: Group 1 took part on Tuesday and Thursday, and Group 2 had their sessions on Wednesday and Friday.

The course began on Monday with Level 1, which took place in our school playground. Here, the children showed they could control their bikes, perform basic manoeuvres, and carry out safety checks confidently.


After mastering the basics, they moved onto Level 2, which took place on the streets near Delta Academy. This is where they really put their cycling skills to the test. Level 2 teaches children how to:
    •    Start and stop with more confidence
    •    Pass stationary vehicles parked on a road
    •    Understand the road, including signals, signs, and road markings
    •    Negotiate quiet junctions, crossroads, and roundabouts
    •    Share the road safely with other vehicles

It was fantastic to see how much the children’s confidence grew over the course of the week. They listened carefully, supported one another, and took their safety seriously — all while having fun!

Well done to everyone in Year 5 for showing great responsibility and resilience. We’re so proud of your achievements and know these skills will help you stay safe on the roads!
