Tour of Southland



Children waiting on the footpath outside our school, pink bangers in hand
We are waiting for the Tour of Southland cyclists outside our school

"Share the Road," we yelled as the cyclists from the Tour of Southland rode past our school.  These are our ideas


Things we heard:

  • beeping horns of trucks and cars - Robbie
  • bangers - two plastic tubes that we blew air into and bang together to make lots of noise - Ben
  • people yelling "Share the Road" - Ben
  • cyclists racing past - Holly
  • chains going around as the cyclists peddled - Brooke  



Things we saw:

  • police cars - flashing lights; making sure the cyclists/spectators/crowd do not get run over - Hunter
  • motorbikes - Conna
  • bangers floating away in the wind when we did not hold onto them - Caleb
  • cyclists - one cyclist was in front of all the others - Greta
  • pilot vehicles - to let other people on the road know that the cyclists are coming - Cole
  • support vehicles - vehicles in case a cyclist gets a flat tyre, warm clothes, food, water - Kate
  • ambulance - Thomas
  •
