Cycle Safety

Over the last two weeks the Year 6 students have been involved in the City Council's cycle safety programme. Room 24 had Kris, John, Mike, Jenn, Richard, Sarah and Jeff as instructors. They checked that our helmets fitted correctly and checked our bikes. They also told us about the road signs and the rules of intersections.

The first two sessions we biked on the school grounds learning to apply these rules and to control our bikes safely. Then at the next two sessions we went out on the roads around school. We did right and left hand turns, stop and give way signs, kerb ride outs and biking at roundabouts.

We also got to have a bike ride around a park.

At the end we were tested and received a certificate to say that we are now competent bike riders and are safe to use the road. Well most of us are!
