Dear Year 4 Parents/Carers,

Thank you for requesting a place for your child to take part in Year 4 Bikeability – Level 1 training. I am pleased to confirm that your child has secured a place and therefore will need to bring their bike and a helmet into school on the following dates:

Sputnik & Chandra classes – Tuesday 3^rd May

Voyager class – Wednesday 4^th May.

Training will consist of a ½ day session on school premises and is FREE of charge, however to take part in the session your child must:-

Their bike must be safe to use and must have two working brakes. Use the ABC guide below to help.
Have a correctly fitted helmet. The chin strap should be secure.
Be able to bring their bike into school on the days of training.

Children should wear their uniform top, comfortable trousers/leggings, trainers or school shoes and a waterproof coat is advisable.

ABC Check

A – Air

Check there is enough air in the tyres. Press down all your weight on the handlebars and ensure the tyres don’t bulge.

B – Brakes

Ensure both your brakes work properly. You should hold each brake on in turn (not both together) and try to move the bike…..it shouldn’t move!

C – Chain

The chain should be oily and not rusty.

Yours sincerely
