An unpunctuated reflection.

At the start of the project i wasn’t feeling positive because i thought bird watching was going to be boring but then when i actually got used to it and when we went out on our bikes there was loads of species and i was beginning to learn about the birds and the biking was brilliant when we went to places like the coast and Bedlington,Holywell,Arcot and East Cramlington Nature Reserve and this last week we have been doing drawings of birds and we have drafted and drafted and it makes my work look better they helped me by saying my work is good and excellent Mrs shanks helped me with my map and route picture i gave reflection to my teammates and others around me i can improve by doing more drafts and reflection the team needs to not be silly and get more work done i think i have listened well and we could improve it better by not talking when others and Mr Mead also helped me because he reflected on my work and helped me with map as well.

Reflection- Elliot

:What has went well I think that the bit in the lesson when we got to go in smaller groups because it got me to talk to some people that i have not talked to yet.Also i think it was good that other people got to mark our work because if you mark your work you think that it will be fine but there will be a mistake but if other people read it they will see it. :What have you learned I have learned that there is a lot more birds in cramlington then i thought there was and i have learned 50 new birds so i very pleased with myself. :How has drafting helped you I think that drafting is a very good idea because you can look back at what you have done and where you need to improve on also you can see how well you have done from your 1st one to your last one. :How has someone in the team helped you. Mrs Shanks because when we were going up a very big hill she was telling me to keep on going and dont give up also dan jones has helped me too because he has been my partner for most of the bike rider and we were telling each other to keep going. :How have you helped the team i was telling people not give up and keep going because i did not want to be to far a head. :What can you do better I can maybe try not to tell people hurry i should let them go at there own pace.

How to Ride In Groups- By Ryan

The Safe Way.

Riding in groups can be very dangerous, so it is important that you are concentrated 100%. All riders must be in a firm line in two pairs, it’s extremely important that you do not over take as it may escalate quickly into a huge collision.

It is extremely important that you wear helmets as crashing can lead into serious injuries and if you land your head it may lead to a concussion.
