Bikeability

Year 5 have begun an exciting and important life skill course – Bikeability! 
The course started on today with Level 1, which took place in our school playground. During this  session, the children focused on developing their control and confidence on their bikes. They practised basic manoeuvres and learned how to carry out important safety checks to make sure their bikes are ready to ride.
So far, the children have made a fantastic start. They have listened carefully to instructions, shown great focus and supported one another as they build their skills.
Later in the week, they will move on to Level 2, where they will take their learning onto the roads near school and begin to apply these skills in real-life situations. 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
We’re really proud of how Year 5 have approached their first session and are looking forward to seeing their confidence continue to grow over the rest of the week!
