As students brought their bicycles to school in the morning, they left them in the gym (top photo). The two MPI instructors set out the course in the playground (bottom photos) |
The course, which was taught by employees from Manitoba Public Insurance, began shortly after opening exercises with the grade 2 class up first (the course was repeated for the grade 1’s shortly afterwards). The MPI instructors set up pylons on the playground and the students learned about bicycle safety checks, the importance of helmets, how to use the “Stop” hand signal, and how to use the “Turning” hand signals.
