Safety First - Year 5 and 6 Bikeability

Safety First!

Year 5 and 6 explored the local roads with BeSpoke once again this term. Before they set off, the children are first taught how to check that their bikes are safe to ride and how to adjust the bike to make it a suitable mode of transport, including what to do if the chain gets caught and misaligned. Then the children adjust helmets and learn about correct positioning and signalling when notifying other road users of their next move. Finally they cycle outside of school, putting all of this knowledge into practice. The children road as a group, paired and individually, in preparation for when they might be riding to their secondary school, or out with friends and family. This is a fantastic course that really does prepare the children for real life experiences. Thank you to Bespoke for this invaluable opportunity for Penn Wood pupils!
