BIKE EDUCATION PROGRAM
What’s the best kind of bike? A wheely good one!
To start the term off in PE, we had Shane from the Bike Education Program come and visit us. Our students revisited their knowledge of safely checking and fitting a helmet, and how to perform an ABCD check on a bike. We practised adjusting the seat level for our own height, how to start in the power position, safely navigating through cones and will progress to giving way to people on our right and navigating through a roundabout. Our older students have been lucky to have Shane visit them for a few consecutive years now, and this enabled them to try some new activities on the bike, including sharper turns and progressing to giving way to oncoming bikes.
It is really special to see the progress our students make over the bike program and over the consecutive years we have been involved in the bike education program. We would like to say a huge thank you to Shane from the Bike education Program for sharing his bicycle knowledge with us and for sharing his equipment! Shane will be back out to Molesworth next Tuesday and for outdoor classroom day.
I would also like to thank all parents and carers who transported their child/children’s bikes to our school for their child/children’s bike session with Shane.
