Amazing Bike Day with Coast Boulevard
Part of Coast Boulevards' philosophy states, "Children are supported through spontaneous and planned active movement experiences" to foster the development of nga tamariki taha tinana/ physical health and wellbeing. Each term break, we run a school holiday program, and one of the children's favourite holiday activities is bike day.
As they explore riding bikes, children engage in increasingly complex sensory-motor skills and movement patterns; Balancing when turning, more complexity in combining their gross and fine motor movement and balance together. As they navigate the car park, we see children's confidence, self-awareness, self-responsibility, and self-esteem all grow as they develop a working theory about spatial awareness. The learning and development opportunities go on and on as our children display such humour, satisfaction, and a sense of happiness.
