\"bike-a-thon-investigations-18-03-2013-5\"Our theme during ‘Keeping Healthy Week’ is ‘The Science of Sports’\u00a0 and our bike-a-thon provided a wonderful opportunity to explore the science of cycling.<\/p>\n

The stage area became an outside bike investigation classroom, filled with activities to explore.\u00a0 It was lovely to link this learning to our fundraising event and to see so many children involved and keen to explore.<\/p>\n

Bicycle maintenance is important to learn and many were drawn to the bicycle repair shop, where mechanics tinkered away, fixing and cleaning a bike. \u00a0 Some explored and built with cogs and gears, while others enjoyed designing bicycle helmets and futuristic bikes.\u00a0 A history and science fact table told the story of early bikes and displayed amazing bike science facts and information.\u00a0 There was also a comfy reading corner where children gathered to read and share non-fiction books.<\/p>\n

Hands-on, meaningful learning – love it!\u00a0 We hope enjoy seeing the photos of the children exploring the science of cycling.<\/p>\n
