During the first week back after half term, children in year 5 will be taking park bikeability, a course designed to improve cycle control and introduce children to riding on the road. The course consists of 2 days training.
The first day sessions consists of a cycle check, an assessment of riding skills on the playground and some on road cycling. If children reach the required standard in cycling control, they will proceed to the on-road cycling sessions.
The second day sessions consist of basic manoeuvres at local road junctions. These include left and right hand turns and over taking parked vehicles.
Children who reach the required standard by the end of the course will receive a certificate of competence and bikeability badge. Mrs Tozer’s class will take part on Tuesday 2nd and Wednesday 3rd November. Miss Verrall’s class will take part on Thursday 4th and Friday 5th November.
Please make sure that you bring your bikes and helmets into school on these dates.
The attached information consists of a course guide for parents and a Highway code booklet. Please look at these together beforehand.
