Over the last couple of days the children have been taking responsible risks on the slide and bungy jumping! This has been sparked by several children watching sky dive and bungy jumping videos on the iPad. The children have transferred their knowledge of what they have seen into creative play. We looked around for some rope but found a rubber bungy instead. This is very creative, he tino auaha tēnei and shows flexible thinking.
Children worked interdependently by helping each other to tie the bungy cord around each other and turn taking. Decisions about safety had to be made such as where to place the bungy, either around their feet or waist and making sure no one else was on the slide as they went down. This is all part of making responsible decisions around risk taking. Children were stepping out of comfort zones and being brave! Making a decsion about going feet first or head first was exciting and brave to try! Kia manawanui, be brave!
