Let's keep moving!



This week the afternoon children continued to explore different ways to move their bodies using the obstacle course set up on the lawn. Gaining confidence in their large motor skills leads into fine motor development needed for painting, drawing and writing. 

Balancing, crawling and climbing are all movements that encourage perceptual motor skills to help the brain cross the mid line, which is great development for reading later on.
These activities that we set up also encourage the tamariki to build the habit of working interdependently. Today Kayne added to the obstacle course set up yesterday by moving logs for Alice to balance on. He shows he can contribute to the daily programme by using innovative ideas and thinking creatively, also great habits of mind to foster. That's good thinking-he pai koe ki te whakaaro
