We started our risk taking by jumping off the smallest step of them all, as we worked together on our safety skills we talked alot about waiting for the child who has just jumped to move off the mat. Showing manaakitanga/ care and respect for our friends is highly respected here at kindergarten, and we were fantastic at practicing this skill.
After jumping off the bottom step a few of our children decided they would take a risk and jump from our middle step, some got up on the step and decided it was a little bit high, others took a responsible risk and jumped down.
After lots of practicing it was exciting to see some of our children take an even bigger risk, climbing to the highest step to challenge their own skills to see if they could safely jump from here onto the mat below! Kātahi nā te tamaiti mōhio, ko koE, what a clever child you are.
Toia te waka – mahia te mahi, be actively involved, and the children in afternoon kindergarten were actively involved in taking risks this afternoon. Ka pai, well done.
