Bikeability

A few weeks ago, the children in year 5 and 6 had the opportunity to take part in Bikeability level 2. This is an event that the children look forward to all year and as always they weren't disappointed. The children spent two days practising their cycling skills, starting on the school playground where they were taught how to check over their bikes to make sure they were road safe. Before long the children progressed even further and took their bikes down the road to Clare Street, where they were taught how to make turns in the road, overtake parked cars and stop and start safely.

The instructors were particularly impressed with our children over the two days as there were road works and this meant that the road was even busier than usual with lots of traffic, including lorries as well as cars. We were so proud to hear how sensible and well behaved the children had been, with everyone improving during the course.
