Bike Ed

 

As part of the school curriculum, we had Declan from Ride2School taking Bike Education sessions with all students from Gr 3 - 6. The students first learnt about doing an ABCD bike check and helmet check before commencing riding.  

 

During the session the students were able to practice their bike riding skills in different scenarios and practiced emergency braking, signalling and head checks.  Some groups also managed round-a-bouts and giving way.

 

At the end of the session each student received their own MPW Bike Licence and shared some fruit as an emphasis on healthy lifestyles.

 

A big thanks to Declan for sharing her knowledge with us and being so engaging and encouraging.  Thanks to families who managed to get so many bikes to school for your child’s session and finally a big shout out to all the students for being so supportive of each other and trying something different (especially those who managed to ride independently for the first time!!!).

 

We hope to see more students use these skills and ride to school when they can.
