This morning our children decided to take a responsible risk and try mastering the skill of jumping over the wiggly rope, lots of children lined up and then started watching the rope wriggle until they could jump to the other side.
As the children explored mastering this new skill, some of the children decided they wanted to give skipping a go, so Ashleigh and I had a turn seeing how well we could do it and demonstrating to the children.
It wasn't long before a small group of children were perservering with difficulty as they tried and tried again to beat the previous number of times they jumped the rope.
This is great he rawe tēnā!
As the children began mastering this skill they decided to have a go at a different type of jumping, 'high jump', the children began building a high jump, showing manaakitanga/care and respect as they put landing mats on one side, making sure everyone was safe.
It wasnt long before all the children were lining up to have a go at high jump, some mastering the skill very quickly while others had to perservere and try and try again.
The children showed huge joy as they continued to master different skills in jumping. Ko te korikori tinana he pai mō te hauora, Exercise helps us stay healthy.
