It is always so encouraging to see how much the girls physical skills and stamina develops during the term on our walks up Mt St John. Often the girls begin by being very hesitant to climb up the hills and the trees and prefer to play on solid ground.
Today we visited a new place and it was wonderful to watch all the girls climbing and playing around a broken branch for a long time. We think that being able to wear long pants has certainly helped!
A monkey game developed that went on for a long time.
Halle said that she had discovered this new place and she has called it
"The Monkey Tree Park"; such a great name that we can add to our other names of the
special places we visit.
An important aspect of supporting children's physical development in such areas as balance, is that this enhances reading development. There is a strong connection between children's physical abilities
and learning to read!
