Key Stage 2 Bikeability

Instructors from Cycle Training East visited our school to promote safe cycling as part of a healthy lifestyle and as an environmentally friendly form of transport. The inspiring instructors focussed on the most important aspect of riding a bike: safety. Children learnt how to do the 'M check' - a safety check in the shape of an M that starts at the front wheels, moves up to the handlebars, down to the pedals, up to the saddle and down to the back wheels. They also learnt to make sure that their clothes were suitable for cycling.  In the playground, children got on their bikes to practise hand signals and turning corners before riding on the roads near school. The children who successfully completed all aspects of the intense training received a certificate and badge to reward them for their super safe cycling. Well done!
