Bikes in PE – Y1

Miss Brunt has been teaching us to ride our bikes every Wednesday as part of our PE lessons. Some of us are using balance bikes and some of us are using pedals. We are learning all about safety too.

Advice for Parents at home…
To maximise learning time in the lesson, please can you help us out at home by:

• Ensuring that helmets fit snugly. The straps around the ears should form a Y shape around the ear. The chin fastening should have 2 fingers width between the chin buckle and chin. Straps should not be twisted.
• Removing stabilisers.
• Checking the bike saddle is at an appropriate height, so the child can mount the bike easily and touch the ground on tiptoes.
• Continuing to check air pressure and that brakes work. The brakes need to be in the correct position to be reached easily.
