We are starting to have some lovely warm weather and this afternoon the children set up a high jump like obstacle. The large group of children lined showed their excitment as they waited in line for a turn while everyone took their time to make the first jump over.
Everyone had different techniques that they used to make their way over the jump, some stepping over with one leg followed by the other or some even using a run up to pick up speed and jump right over the top. Āe mārika - How about that! A real indication of the thought and intention that was behind everyones attempts to get over the jump, some succeeding the first time and others enjoying the work involved to persevere and get better each time they made a jump.
Children showed Manaakitanga/care and respect as they lined up waiting for a turn but also as they gave each other encouragement!
"Good job Rubie" Hugo shared and "That was a good one too Macy" who jumped over afterwards.
