Bikeability
This week the Year 5’s have taken part in a Bikeability course. On Monday we learnt about the different checks we needed to carry out before taking to the road. Everyone completed a clothing check and ensured their helmets were fitted correctly. After making sure that we were ready, it was time to check our bikes – we learnt that there were two checks that can be carried out – the ‘M check’ and the ‘ABC check’. We used both forms of bike check to make sure we were safe to cycle.
Over the course of the week we learnt how to control our bikes and practiced our skills on the playground before heading out onto the roads around Cliddesden. The children practiced passing parked vehicles, making a U-turn and identifying different hazards in the road. They learnt how to signal to inform other road users and how to correctly use junctions on major and minor roads. The Year 5’s thoroughly enjoyed the week and learnt how to safely ride a bicycle.
