Road Safety

On the 5 May, Constable Greer came down from Dunedin to teach us about road safety. We had to bring along a bike with a helmet or  a scooter with a helmet. First we got told about a boy who became unable to move his body because his head smashed against the side of the gutter when he wasn’t wearing his helmet. We got taught what to do so that didn’t happen to us. We tested if our brakes worked then everyone went around the playground on our bikes. When we went around corners we had to put our arm out and point it the way that we are going  and after we did the lap we had to look back at the sign that was being shown to us. After we did that Constable Greer put out a ramp and that was to help us get our confidence up. At the end we played a game when you get to the other side going really slow and you weren’t allowed to put your feet on the ground. It was fun to have a practical session on our bikes and we learnt some important things to help keep us safe on the roads.
