OVO Racing Bikes at school

Yesterday our Year 6's were lucky to take part in a workshop about Racing Bikes from the RideSmart organisation.  The children were given basic racing skills were put into teams to race across the playground.

Here's a report from the children:

On the 6^th September John, (bike safe coach) came to school with some bikes. Both of the year 6 classes were split into groups of sixteen and went out to the back playground, one group at a time.

We learnt loads of different races that they do in the velodrome even though we were on the playground.

Each group went out and got split into two teams and went to each side of the playground. They both went to each side of the playground and raced each other around they did two laps around the playground.

Our favourite race was team pursuit, what we did was three people from each team went behind each other and started when John said start the front person did one lap the second person did two laps and the third person did three laps. The first team for all of their three members inbetween of the cones won.

Altogether it was a great morning and we really want to do it again.
