Yesterday the JRSO committee group were learning about the importance of wearing a helmet when riding a bike or scooter. We carried out a survey and found that out of the 17 pupils in our group:

• 13 pupils have a bike
• 12 pupils have a scooter
• only 4 pupils wear a helmet when riding their bike or scooter

We talked about the reasons for this and found that some pupils don’t own a helmet. The pupils that did own a helmet thought that they didn’t need to wear one or that it wasn’t cool.

We then designed our own helmets thinking about the colours we would choose and the safety features that we could add. Have a look at our designs.

We would encourage everyone to wear a helmet when you are riding a bike, scooter or even rollerblades/skates as it could save your life!
