Yesterday Room 13 had a lesson with Auckland Transport to learn some scooter skills.
Before we even got our scooter we had to check that our helmets were safe using the 2, 4, 1 rule.
Once our helmets were safe, we had to check that our scooter was safe to ride.
We learned how to do emergency stops, how to use our brakes, and that we need to stop, look both ways and walk across a zebra crossing.
We also learnt about all the things we need to be careful of when we are riding our scooters along a footpath. A really important one is to look out for sneaky driveways!
We had lots of fun learning how to ride our scooters safely.
