Cycle Sense: Room 8

9/18/2017

0 Comments

 

The pupils of Room 8 are currently taking part in cycle safety training course run by 'Cycle Sense'. 

The course is aligned to 'Cycle Right', the National Standard for Cycle Training in Ireland, and is delivered by qualified trainers from the national register. 

The training will prove invaluable to 5th & 6th Class. For those who already cycle to school, the benefits are obvious, but training is just as important for children who only cycle at home and during the holidays. In fact, everyone who will ever get on a bike needs to learn the safety skills required to assess situations on the road and how to react to them . 

Also, by teaching children to cycle safely,l and by encouraging them to cycle in the course of their daily lives, we are putting in place the habit of exercise- at a time when lack of exercise in our youngsters is a growing cause of concern. 

The course will consist of 6 (8 hours) sessions with the pupils. Topics covered will include: safe equipment; rules of the road; starting and stopping; road positioning; shoulder checking; turning left and right; overtaking and traffic manoeuvres, and, where appropriate to the group, on-road training.

The emphasis of the course is on safety through control of the bike and awareness of surroundings. It will be very beneficial to trainees to have the opportunity to practice between sessions as this will more quickly develop the core bike handling skills needed for cycling on the road.

At the end of the course, each child will receive a certificate of participation.
