Scooter Workshops

Many thanks to Lucy from Green Schools who delivered scooter workshops today to classes from junior infants to second.

I think it is clear that the students had lots of fun and most importantly learned so much about scooting and road safety, in general.

​Lucy began her lessons in class and used the story of 'Why Animals Can't Ride Scooters' to highlight potential hazards and demonstrate correct safety procedures when scooting.

The second part of the lesson involved practical instruction on the yard. Lucy identified parts of the scooter, highlighted the importance of wearing a helmet and hi-vis, demonstrated correct positioning when scooting and vital skills such as gliding, braking and the emergency stop! 

Students then had fun partaking in obstacles courses and games to finish.

Lucy will be back with us next week (Tuesday, 13th) to conduct bike safety workshops for the senior end (3rd to 6th). We can't wait!

Well done to all the boys and girls who took part today!
