Over the past two weeks, Year 5 and 6 took part in an exciting bike training course run by Waltham Forest Council. They learnt a number of skills over the week, including, how 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 and managing risks when cycling. All of the children had a fantastic time, learning these new skills whilst enjoying themselves.
Bobby said ‘I enjoyed that we got to cycle on the road and we had some independence to ride on the road’ and Ilayda said ‘I learnt lots of new skills and really loved the different games we played on the bikes’.
What a fantastic opportunity!
