On Monday, January 27, the secretary of the Penny Farthing Club came to visit with his retro bicycle.
Neil Laughton talked to the children in key stage one about the history of the bicycles, answered their questions, showed them how to ride a penny farthing and then allowed some of the children to have a go.
This was part of the school’s new ‘On the Move’ topic which was launched recently when pupils were able to bring in their own bikes and scooters.
The playground was turned into a road and the children had to follow the rules of the road, looking carefully at the road signs.
Other activities as part of this topic will include visits from a tractor, vintage bus and motocross bike as well as a visit to Amberley Museum
