P6 Bikeability
Our Primary 6s have undergone their Bikeability Level 1 training.
We are extremely grateful to Courtney and Miss Nicholl for working with our young people to gain this award.
Bikeability Level 1 teaches us to:
- Maintain our cycle: making sure our ride is in tip-top condition and make simple repairs
- Glide: smooth, calm and collected
- Control our bike: including setting off, cruising, slowing down, braking and stopping. (You’ll even learn to pedal one handed!)
- Pedal: without feeling wobbly or out of control
- Be aware of our surroundings: looking behind and turning around obstacles

· Barony Campus, Cumnock: Thursdays 6.00 – 7.00pm
