Kids Can Ride

Last week we had the Kids Can Ride instructors at school for the Year 5 and 6 syndicate. The objectives of this programme are:

• To enable children to cycle more safely to and from school by increasing their competency and confidence levels.
• To encourage parents to allow their children to cycle.
• To prepare Year 6 children for cycling safely and independently to intermediate school.

On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the students spent time at school learning how to check their bike and helmet to make sure it is road safe, give way rules, hand signals, left hand and right hand turns.

On Thursday and Friday we ventured out of school down to The Lakes to practice the skills they had just learnt on the road. It was great to see how much confidence they had all gained and everyone had a great time.

Thank you to the parents who came cycling with us we really appreciate you giving up your time to make it a success.
