Bike Safety

Yesterday we had a visit from Constable Val. When she arrived she asked the class who had brought their  bike. Casey was the only one. After that she asked us who had one and mostly everyone put their hands up. Constable Val asked Casey to go and grab his helmet. When he brought it in she told us a story about a boy in Pamerston North that fell of his bike and didn't have a helmet on. The boy got brain damage, it damaged the the places in his head that make him eat and chew. Finally it was time for Casey to bring his bike into the classroom. When he brought it in she told us that every bike has a serial number on the bottom so if it ever gets stolen you can go to the police station,  give your name and the serial number. After that we went over all of the things a bike is supposed to have.
