2010+Evaluation

**// EVALUATION QUESTIONS //** **// Responses //** // Safety on your bike – footwear, not talking on your phone, having a proper helmet // // 2, 1, 4 for fitting your helmet correctly // // Be visible on the road // ** Same rules, same rights, same roads. ** ** Give cyclists Share the Road space. ** ** Don’t burst our bubble messages ** // Yes-be bright on bike // // 2-4-1 //  ** Yes and the children can too. We sometimes hear them saying the catch phrases around the school! ** || // Yes // ** Yes! ** // Yes // Very effective! Thought ALL the speakers/ presenters were brilliant at motivating the children, keeping them interested. It was very hands on, and the older kids (Yr7-8) definitely enjoyed it as well. Having all the props helped and involving the kids was great. || **// If no-why not? //** || ** Great acting from the policeman and Jack played his role well. Some humour. **   // Because it was interactive and the children were engaged in the presentation // ** Was very good. It was interactive. ** ** Children were engaged and loved receiving the spot prizes. It was good having the little drama with Jason on the bike. ** // The children are still referring to it at discussion times and through their work. //  As above, and also hearing what the kids say around the playground—in informal situations. When the children went out to support the Tour, they were talking about which jerseys to look out for. || // We thought the presentation was effective the way it was. It was good to have athletes from the tour for the children to identify with. // ** I think it was very good and there was not much to could improve on. Possibly there could have been some harder questions for the senior children. ** // With pre-school aged children they need time to be able to formulate their answers. Perhaps more time for this in the future would be great // || // Yes // ** Sort of. Didn’t really talk much about it other than at the ** ** presentation. ** // Yes  // Yes  || // Was used for motivation to writing and discussions around cycle safety, talked about in assembly // ** The tour was talked about briefly just before the cyclists were about to go past! ** // Lots of discussions about keeping safe not only on the road but on the water and in the air as well. Making road lines and rules for our scooters and ride on’s. //  Discussions in the classroom about the Tour and Road Safety. Banner being made. || // No // // – did look at maps of where the tour was going // **No** Yes once where some of our older children worked on the games section. Will look at revisiting again. Not yet… || // Cycling safety – come to school and practice the road rules, check out bikes, helmets etc for safety and present the children who know how to be safe with a certificate saying they are safe to go on the road. // ** Last year we did the Road Sense programme in the ** ** school. This presentation revisited the ideas that we learnt such as, how to wear a helmet correctly, ensuring the bike is in a safe condition to ride. Possibly if a pro cyclist could come into the school and take the children for a ride one day? ** // If time permitted a revisit and perhaps during winter months when we all have to be wary of rain and frost. //   Perhaps some educational kits about the Tour and Road Safety, (though you probably cover that in your website) prior to the visit or as follow-up material. It was good having the banner paper given to us on the day and having Maureen take it into Sport Southland for us - THANK YOU! Keeping in contact with the school, perhaps some pre-build up to the Tour in Term 3, to get the kids / school motivated and excited. || ** Legend- ** ** Longford ** // Mataura // ** Southland Adventist ** // Lindisfarne // Heddon Bush PS. The Tour has become an annual event for our school. Each year, the whole school goes to a parents house to watch the cyclist ride past - the parent prepares morning tea for staff and children and some community members also come and share the experience. The children do look forward to it and begin asking about it in Term 3!!
 * // SHARE THE ROAD 2010 //**
 * # **// Can you recall any Share the Road messages? //** || ** Yes and so can the students. The system to see that a hat fits correctly is excellent. **
 * **//Did you think the Share the Road presentation was effective?//** || ** Very. It can be hard to impress year 7 & 8 students and they mostly seemed to be engaged. **
 * **// If yes-in what ways? //**
 * **//In what ways we could improve our presentation?//** || ** It was great. **
 * **// Did the Share the Road messages springboard any classroom teaching? //** || ** Yes **
 * **// If so, in what way? //** || ** Art – with the banner. Unfortunately the programme is very full and it didn’t. **
 * **// Have you or the students explored the online Share the Road sites? //** || ** No **
 * **// How could we extend our programme to support your school/class throughout the rest of the year? //** || ** If we had an outline of the programme prior (a term prior at least), then it could become part of the programme. Maybe we could tie in our school triathlon around the same time. **
