We are proud to share that an impressive 79 Year 6 pupils had the rather chilly opportunity to complete their Bikeability Training which is such an important life skill! Starting last Friday and throughout this week, the children have set out and about with instructors from Hampshire Outdoor to develop their independent knowledge, skills and cycle safety understanding. Activities have included: completing safety checks on their bikes, mastering cycling skills and learning strategies to stay safe on the roads. Following an introduction and safety assessment on the school playground, the children then experienced cycling around our local area. Through this valuable extended curriculum opportunity, the children have learnt essential life skills that we hope will not only encourage them to keep up cycling as a form of exercise to improve their health, fitness and well-being but also develop their confidence and independent skills as well as (most importantly) keep themselves safe! Myself and the Year 6 staff have received exceptionally positive feedback from the instructors relating to our pupils engagement and motivation which is always wonderful to hear.
Well done Year 6, you have been great ambassadors and should be proud of your achievements!
