Year 6 Bikeability

On the week of the 21st of November many of Swans class did the Bikeability course throughout the week. The aim of Bikeability is to teach safe cycling on the road.

We started on our school playground for a test to make sure we were safe enough to ride on the road. When we got on the road we mainly practised different types of turns and signals while still pedalling. Some types of turns we did were a U turn, left turn and right turn. To indicate we were turning we would put our arm out in the direction we were turning in. We also did an  'M check'- it is when you take your bike and check your wheels pedals, handlebars and your seat in an 'M' motion. We also did a head-to-toe check, checking our helmets, clothes and shoes to make sure we had the right gear.

The children who completed the course were given a certificate and a badge to show their success.
