how many more lengths of the swimming pool does he need to swim to get his award?


Strategy One is called tidy number.
94 - 4=90 90-20=70 70-1=69 0+4+20+1=25                                    Answer: 25

Strategy Two is called Place Value.                                                     Answer:25
94-60=34
34-9=25

Bike Safety Blog Post T4 2018

Bike Safety Blog Post T4 2018
  
What are the three things that Constable Ken Taught about where we can ride our bikes? (think - place and time)
1. Constable Ken said that Sovereign palms is good because the roads are wide and there aren't as many people on the roads. 

2. Constable Ken told us that we have to ride our bike on the left side like all the other cars.

3. He also said that we have to ride in the bike lane so we don't run over any people and also so you don't
crash into a car that is pulling out of the driveway.



Name three important things Constable Ken taught us about how to ride our bikes? (think - eyes and head)
1. Firstly we have to find any hazards in the area that we are bike riding.

2. The second thing we learnt was when we get on the bike, we have to get on it on the left side so a car doesn't run us over.

3. The last thing we learnt is that we always have to use our back brakes because if you use the front brakes and if your going at a fast speed, you could face plant into the ground.


Describe the three bike signals that Constable Ken taught us.


  1. Right hand turn


  1. Left hand turn


  1. Stop


What did you enjoy the most about your Cycle Safe lesson? Why?
I liked riding around the field because it was relaxing. I also liked using both brakes at the same time because you had to pedal fast then stop suddenly.
