Over the last few weeks, Primary 3 have been working with Mr Phillips at Eastwood High School to learn how to scoot.
“Before every lesson, we put on our helmets and made sure they were fitted properly.” (Eilidh)
“During our first lesson, before we started scooting, we learned the names of the different parts of the scooter.” (Alexander)
“We have he deck, which is where we stand. There are the handlebars which help us steer. At the back of the scooter there is one break which helps us stop. We have the wheels which are the most important part as they help us to move! Finally, we have the grips which is where we hold on to the scooter.” (Alexander, Ryan, Darcey, Eilidh, Emma)
Over our three week block we learned a lot and have become much more confident and comfortable using our scooters.
“We have learned how to glide and scoot very fast.” (Maryam)
“We have learned how to do bunny hops and ‘mini-mans’.” (Muskaan)
“We have learned how to ride in and out of the cones along an obstacle course.” (Ayla)
“We had a race on the scooters.” (Aliyah)
“We also did a couple of laps around the big track which made us exhausted!!” (Cole)
“We then put all of these skills together and went around the track to show off everything we had learned.” (Cara)
We really enjoyed learning how to scoot and are excited to continue practising our new skills in the future.
