Jump

On wednesday the boys had energy to burn! I set up a jump pad for them, and we had a bit of healthy competition trying to out jump each others distances. This activity entertained a group of boys for most of the morning.

What im learning:
Im using my gross motor skills, im gaining increased confidence, agility, co ordination and control over my body. Im using maths concepts, im judging distances such as height and length, measuring distance jumped, using numbers and comparisons. Im also challenging myself, working as part of a team and using turn taking and co operation skills. Jumping is also an essential exercise for strong and healthy bone development, plus its lots of fun for boys with energy to burn!
