Cycling workshop!!

On Friday the 7th of October we did our 3rd of 5 cycling workshops. Firstly we put on our helmets and went through our bike checks as we had done the previous two weeks. For the next hour the yard in Greenmount became a busy main road! Some of our classmates were chosen to be the traffic where they continually cycled on a set route which involved navigating a ‘busy road’ with two roundabouts! It proved a little difficult at first but we soon got the hang of it! Our other classmates learned how to use hand signals correctly and cycle from a T-Junction! We also practised changing  directions with lots of other cyclists! Some of our classmates are also working on improving their cycling skills and they are making fantastic progress! Loads of learning and fantastic fun again this week as seen in our photos!!!20160930_113328 20161007_114151 20161007_114219 20161007_114636 20161007_114649 20161007_115618 20161007_123036 cycling-resized-attempt-2

Cycling Workshop!

On Friday the 23rd of September we started our first of five cycling workshops! We first learned how to fit our helmets correctly and went through all safety checks for our bikes. After that we worked in groups where everybody had their own bike. We particularly enjoyed the slow bike race as we had to have great control over our bikes. We also tried sudden stop races and manoeuvring around cones. Some people even learned to ride a bike for the first time!!! Fantastic fun was had by all and we are already looking forward to next week!!!

Ice-cream Party

Today we had an ice-cream party in our class. As we won’t see Deirdre, our Speech Therapist for the rest of this school year, she brought in ice-cream to treat us. We had to ask for our preferred flavour of ice-cream and the toppings that we would like. We were very good at asking the questions and using our new vocabulary. Yum, Yum! See you in September Deirdre.
