Jumping Jellybeans

26 September 2011

What a fantastic and busy morning we had today. The children were excited and ready to play as soon as they arrived. Luckily the sun was out and so was a fantastic climbing course set up in our garden. The children were immediately attracted to this and began climbing up, over and onto the many parts of the course.

Callan decide to lead the children to try taking a bit of a risk and jumping off the end of the blue beam. Noah and James followed suit and too jumped off the beam onto our mat. Soon we had most of the children all taking risks and jumping too. It was neat to see the children all involved and working well alongside each other sharing the equipment. They waited patiently and took turns allowing each other the time and space to jump when they felt ready. Lilly was especially happy to climb today. She has been challenging and building up her confidence while balancing on the blue beam. Today she even attempted to jump off the beam with a helping hand from the teachers. Well done Lilly! We will have to get out the blue beam again tomorrow and continue to practice our climbing and jumping skills.
