Year 6 – Bikeability Success!

We are so proud of our Year 6 children – what a successful week of Bikeability training! Each and every child that has taken part has grown in confidence whilst aiming to reach their ‘personal best’, whatever that looked like. We had children starting the week having never ridden a bike who, today, were flying around the playground with the most incredible smiles on their faces! Some children had never ridden on the roads before and now feel like they could enjoy a bike ride with friends or family.

Over the week, most of the children learnt to: 

– Cycle safely and responsibly

– Identify and respond to hazards

– Start and stop on-road journeys

– Maintain suitable riding positions

– Share the road with others and communicate with other road users

– Comply with signals, signs and road markings

– Manage risk when cycling

– Negotiate junctions (pass side roads, turn at T junctions, and crossroads and roundabouts if present)

If your child took part, they will come home with their certificate and badge on Monday. Please look carefully at the back of the certificate to see if there were any elements of the training that the team felt they could do with extra practice in.

For more information, tips or ideas for bike routes, please see their website – https://bikeability.org.uk/cycle-more/cycle-more-2020/

Why not see the progress for yourself and go out on a family bike ride? We would love to see photos! 

Well done Year 6 – another amazing achievement!
