Orson and Keith from For2Feet taught the children in the playground and then took them out to the local area to put their learning into practise.

The children learnt:

• How to stop: use the scooters break
• How to stop in an emergency (or if the break fails): stamp foot on the ground
• Always ride your scooter on the pavement (never the kerb or road) “when the pavement stops, we stop”
• Always walk a scooter across a road by holding the scooter on the ground and keeping both feet to one side
• Be polite: say “excuse me, please can I get past”
• Be extra careful of drive ways: look out for the white break lights, the engine running or people in the car. Remember, the driver may not be able to see a child on a scooter through a rear car window.
• Finally, scooting is a fantastic and active way to travel to school!
