Coming soon to Bishopton Primary – The Big Pedal is organised by the cycling charity Sustrans.\u00a0 Every year they encourage children in schools all over the UK to cycle or scoot to school.\u00a0 Parents and teachers are encouraged to join in too.\u00a0 Every journey made is recorded over a 10 day period.\u00a0 The school with the most journeys is the winner.\u00a0 Prizes are awarded every day.<\/p>\n
In Bishopton Primary, there is a special certificate for each daily class winner and an extra cycle\/scooting time awarded to the over all winning class.<\/p>\n
We ask that children cycle or scoot to school (but not in the playground before school or on the way home from school).<\/p>\n
At some time every day, teachers will take their class to the playground to cycle or scoot and improve fitness , as well as having fun.<\/p>\n
We would ask that all children wear a helmet on their bikes and , if they have one, on their scooters. Please make sure all helmets fit properly and are undamaged.<\/p>\n
Please help us protect your child’s safety by checking over their bike or scooter before they bring it to school.<\/p>\n
If your child has a lock for their bike or scooter they are welcome to use it, as bikes and scooters will be stored in the playground.\u00a0 Children are responsible for looking after lock keys.<\/p>\n
Let’s hope for good weather. Please join in if you have a bike (or scooter!)
