Physical Education
- The child has learned about the importance of wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle or scooter.
- They have learned how to safely cross the road by using crosswalks and looking both ways before crossing.
- The child has learned basic hand signals for cycling to indicate their intentions to other road users.
- They have learned about the importance of staying visible while walking or cycling at night by wearing reflective clothing or using lights.
Continued development related to road safety can be fostered by organizing a bike rodeo in the school where students can practice their cycling skills and road safety knowledge. Additionally, creating a road safety obstacle course on the playground can help reinforce the concepts learned during the activity.
