Bike Day

Bike Day 2024

Ulick of Bike Wizards helped to teach our pupils from Junior Infants to 3rd Class cycling skills today.

The classes loved the challenges that Ulick set in each lesson. They learned about balance, braking, and turning skills 🚴‍♀️

🚴‍♀️

There were a few pupils who cycled without the aid of stabilisers for the very first time which was excellent to hear and witness.

Others in the more junior classes focussed on balance bike work and teachers commented on how competence improved over the session.

We were delighted to receive funding for this bike event from Cork Sports Partnership on behalf of Cork County and City Councils.

Thank you so much to Ulick for his fun and invaluable advice and to all parents who supported us by bringing in pupils’ bicycles.
