Primary 3 at Creation

All of the pupils showed an interest in travelling to the skate park. As we got to Creation the pupils gathered together and was each given a scooter and helmet. The teacher went through the outdoor ed rules and safety instructions of no swearing, being mindful of other people, keeping the helmet on at all times when using the scooter.

All of the pupils had a go on the scooters and took it in turns to swap their scooter with their peers. The pupils worked together in small groups and as a class by encouraging their peers to join in. The pupils also enjoyed riding up and down different sized ramps and demonstrating to their peers what tricks they could do. On the way back to school all of the pupils as a group showed their interest in returning to the skate park on another outdoor ed lesson. The pupils discussed what parts they liked and if they had been on a scooter before. One of the pupils said "I do wheelies on my scooter at home". The pupils continued to talk about their past experience of taking their scooter to a skate park which wasn't fair away from where they lived and how they use to go with their friends from around their house". Another pupils identified one of the ramps as "I really liked the big one because you could go really high".
