The Grand Departy!

Wow! How fabulous was our Tour de France weekend? We really got things off to a fantastic start with our Tour de France feature week. 

 Each class decorated a bicycle. We didn't settle for just painting them yellow! The classes went all out to produce designs to be proud of.

 During the week the children learnt about the history of the tour. Did you know that part of the first tour took place during the night? They had to stop night riding as cyclists were cheating under the cover of darkness!
 We also looked at how the bikes are designed to achieve maximum speed and the tactics used in the race.


 The week ended with our celebration assembly when each class presented their finished bicycles.

  1. Loving your bikes. What colourful designs. Well done everyone and I hope you all got to see a bit of the tour - it looked very exciting on the television but Im sure it was much better in real life!
