The children had a fantastic time using their big muscles and developing their skills. We saw lots of energy on the climbing equipment, great aim while kicking and throwing balls, and some impressive balancing while riding bikes. The bouncy crates were a huge hit for jumping, and there was fantastic teamwork and creativity as they built tall towers with the reels. The class also used their keen observation skills to make some amazing discoveries, including a soft feather, some intricate spiderwebs, and even tiny eggs nestled on a leaf!
