New Bikes for Hazel Class

July 11, 2024 by Niki Jones

We have used some of our Sports Grant to buy a set of brand new pedal and balance bikes for our youngest learners. We have bought the bikes from a company who also offer training for our early years team. The programme that we now have in place is supporting all of our children with their gross motor ability and helping them to progress their riding at whatever point they start.

First the children learn how to safely push the bike along and how to mount safely, as well as how to put the bike down gently. They also learn about how to use the brakes to stop. Then they either go on the balance bikes to practise gliding, or they practise skills on their pedal bikes, weaving, turning and trying to get through small gaps. This is an exciting addition to our early years offer!
