September 2013  ~ Year 6 Cycle Training

                     

Year 6 pupils were offered a course in cycle training. 
A third of the year group took up the
opportunity.
And so for four weeks they turned up at school 
on either Saturday morning or afternoon for the course.  

The first week was spent on basic skills on the playground.

After that it was out onto the roads around Ickenham.  
First not too far from the school gate in Hoylake Crescent 
learning to mount their bikes, but being aware of passing traffic ...
(The zig zags only apply on weekdays!)

... and how to turn safely to head in the other direction.
Meanwhile another group was in Wallasey Crescent 
practicing the same skills ...
... and learning to pull out to pass parked cars.
At the end of the four week course it was time for some final advice.
The course will help them cycle more safely on quiet roads.
