Cycle Safety Skills

By Sarah

On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of April we had a cycle safety test. We did 5 activities. My favourite were Intersection and Cycle track.

The cycle track was my favorite part of the course. For the cycle track we had wooden boards to ride across with four tight corners and black felt lines on the corners to ride on. Once we had gone over the course we had to go over a sea saw and when you got to the top of the sea saw you need to stand on your pedals so you don't get hurt and go to the back of the line.

The Intersection was a four way street with four people at a time on each road and we pointed witch way we were going and worked out who went first, second, third and fourth. Before we went we checked with Counstable Garlend to see if it was right.

I think CycleSafety is pretty cool and I would like to do it again some day and do the Intersection and track most of all!

This is a writing test. Students were given 45 minutes to plan and draft a story recounting the best, or worst, thing that happened to them during Cycle Safety. The stories are assessed as 'draft writing' for how well they have been written for 'readers' understanding' and 'readers' interest'.

Readers' Understanding:

1. Grammar (making sense).
2. Accurate spelling.
3. Accurate punctuation
4. Background information (making sense).

Readers' Interest:

1. Writes about one main idea in detail at a time.
2. Uses descriptive language.
3. Uses language features (expressive language).
4. Uses personal comments.
