Using our gross motor skills

Today we have been testing out how strong we are. Using our gross motor skills in different ways. 
As we played we tied the ropes onto our tires, some of us used different techniques to pull the tires around the playground. Mahi tahi/ working together was one strategy to get the tire to move while others used a shorter rope. 

From here some of the children persevered with difficulty as they tried to use their arm muscles to get across the monkey bars, something some children have been trying to achieve for a long period of time and others taking a risk to try something new. 

Soft foam shapes were put under the monkey bars to help some children take a responsible risk to give it a go swinging on the monkey bars. When things are difficult don’t give up, ka pakeke te haere kaua e hemo.
