Dear Parents/Carers,
Family Support Drop-ins
From next week Mrs Selway will be hosting informal drop-in sessions each Friday morning. This time will enable parents/carers to seek support and advice. Mrs Selway will help in any way she can and also provide links to other organisations who offer support. If you have a worry of any kind - pop in!
Parent Safeguarding Noticeboard
A reminder that we have a parent safeguarding noticeboard just outside the main entrance. We use this to explain how we keep children and also some information that parents can use if they have a problem.
School Crossing Patrol
Please can you remember to cross the road to school with Carina, our School Crossing Patrol, and not further down the road. This is for you and your children’s own safety.
Please do not park on the zig zag lines. If you do, there is a possibility that you may be fined.
Children’s cycle skills sessions at the Family Cycling Centre
The Bristol Family Cycling Centre in Hengrove is running a course of cycling skills sessions for children aged 7 to 12 who can already ride, led by British Cycling-qualified coaches. This is in addition to the range of learn-to-ride, disability-friendly and family sessions that take place at the Centre.
The course uses fun games to improve bike handling skills. It is great for those wishing to get more confident on their bike ready for independent riding on the roads as well as would-be racers.
Children will work in two groups, based on cycling experience. Example exercises for Group 1 include weaving through cones, practising cornering, cycling in an ever-smaller space and slow races. Group 2 will do similar games but with more confidence/speed. They may also practise passing things to each other while riding, riding while holding each other's shoulders, drafting and close riding, sprint starts etc. The sessions may also include some fun, handicapped races.
The sessions are run on our traffic-free track and paths. Children can bring their own bike or use one of the Centre’s.
The course runs on Saturday mornings (February 3rd, 10th and 17th and March 3rd, 10th and 24th) from 9am to 10am. It costs £30 (£15 for children eligible for free school meals).
Please book a place via Eventbrite. More information and links for booking are on our website www.betterbybike.info/familycyclingcentre and Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/familycyclingcentre.
Do get in touch if you have any questions.
