Parents are leading the way at St. Joseph’s in iCycle training. A group of parents: Mrs O’Hara, Mrs Russell, Mrs Moy and Mrs Greig have been involved in ably instructing the P6 children in the practical aspects of the programme whilst staff have looked on and learned. The teaching staff have approached the theory of iCycle training in class sessions with a fine balance of practical skills being taught mainly by previously trained parents.
The children are well motivated and eager to learn their hand signals, ‘lifesaver’ moves and appropriate positions on the road. So accomplished are they that the parents and staff are soon to embark on ‘on the road’ training. Our P6 children are all set to have a safe and enjoyable summer on their bikes thanks to the dedication of parents and staff alike!
