Swing Challenges



The learning that's happening:
We have recently purchased some new swings, pulleys and ropes; this combined with some fine weather has given the children the opportunity to experiment and enhance their physical skills and capabilities. In this video clip the children are practicing their abilities, gaining increased control over their bodies, gaining increased agility, co ordination and balance, are building their self confidence and physical strength, are working together, taking on challenges and managing risk. This is just a small snippet of their swing capabilities.

  1. This is awesome to watch. We have some very clever children at kindergarten who are showing wonderful physical skills. What strong arms you must have!
