Inspire+ static bike in lessons.

This week Inspire+ delivered their static bike for us to use for the month. The first week we decided that class 3 would cycle from 9 through until 3.30, right through lessons.Was this a sensible idea? Oh yes!

Quiet reading whilst cycling..

 We started at 9 on Tuesday taking turns through all lessons, breaks and lunch cycling for as little as possible and a maximum of 5 miles at a time. Children were to participate in lessons if they were cycling by answering questions , listening everything except writing!

 At 3.15 on Tuesday we were a few miles off 100miles so some of the hockey club stayed behind a few minutes and achieved 100miles. Wednesday saw Y5/6 from breakfast club starting at 8 on the bike- we reached over 200 miles. 

Thursday we swam so missed 2 hours but with parents evening we caught up and cycled until 6pm with a grand total of 315 miles.

Giving suggestions and answering...

Friday we continued with all adults in class also taking a turn helping the total along.Teaching from a bike was even possible  for my 5 min stint.
How many miles will we achieve in a week? What will be our next challenge? Keep looking at the blog to find out.
