Ellen, Jack, Holly, Aaron, Ciaran and Aidan did this thing called Cycling Proficiency this term where you learn to ride safely on your bike.
P7’s around Argyll and Bute do a cycling test. First we cycle around the playground, and try to lift your hand of the handle bar so you can signal the driver behind you to tell them which direction you are going such as left or right, you don’t put your hand up if you are going straight. Before you start to cycle you put your pedals at 2 o’clock and you look behind you and then signal, then you do your life saver. The life saver is when you look behind to see the if there is traffic behind you for your safety. After the playground you practice in the road. There is also a theory test.
I got a C in my cycling test so that means I need to work on my cycling a wee bit more so that I can cycle on the road with all my friends.
This term our reading group was reading The brilliant world of Tom Gates by Liz Pichon. I think the Genre of this book is comedy because he is mean to Marcus Meldrew and its funny because he has illustrations like in his diary.
