Y4 Bikeability - Update

Dear Parents

Thank you to those of you who responded to the Bikeability questionnaire.

Of those who completed the form, we have around 20 pupils who are eligible to take part.

Apologies for the short notice, however we have only just had confirmation of the session times, despite having tried to contact the trainers several times last week.

Please could your child bring their bike to school tomorrow (Tuesday 14th January) Bikes should be parked up by the KS2 Hall, against the railings (raised area) Please ensure not to block any of the door leading into the hall.

Your child will only be able to take part if you have responded to the previous form and they are able to ride a bike without stabilizers.

I have included a checklist for their bikes below - pupils should come so school in their PE kits (Joggers not shorts)

You and your child will need to ensure that they are adequately prepared for their training.

You should ensure that:

▪ Saddle and handlebars are adjusted to the correct height.

▪ Brakes are functioning.

▪ Tyres are pumped up with no punctures. It is also important that your child is dressed appropriately for the training:

▪ It is a requirement that your child wears a properly fitted, undamaged cycle helmet throughout the scheme.

▪ Think about the weather – if it’s raining you should ensure that your child has waterproof clothing with them.

▪ Ensure your child is wearing shoes with a closed heel and toe (trainers).
