As part of our children's interest on physical development and physical skills, we planned a small excursion to Pakuranga Chipmunks for our children to explore the environment. Children were very excited to start their day off extending on their physical development.
We were lucky enough to have the Chipmunks to ourselves during the morning :)
Links to Te Whariki: Exploration, Goal 2:
"Children experience an environment where they gain confidence in and control of their bodies"
Learning Outcome: Children develop strategies for actively exploring and making sense of the world by using their bodies, including active exploration with all the senses, and the use of tools, materials and equipment to extend skills.
Exploration links with Essential Skills:
Physical Skills - in exploring the physical environment, children gain increasing motor and manipulative control and skill in using tools and materials safely.
Children got to freely explore their environment alongside their peers and adults. The ratio was met as it was one adult to one child which allowed positive and responsive interactions.
A big meitaki maata to our parents Sara (Elijah's mum), Alyssa (Gabriel's mum), Yasoder (Asher's mum) & Maggie (Meiyana's mum) who took the time in their busy lives to participate in this excursion for our babies. It was such a good day for our tamariki as well as building strong relationships with our parents.
Well Done Team!!!! great to see the positive outcomes from the excursion.
