Here at BestStart St Albans, in the Pukeko Room (preschool 2-5 year olds), we have been having weekly judo sessions from one of our kaiako (teachers) who is a judoka and judo coach.
Learning about judo has allowed us to burn built-up energy, improve our physical development and body control, as well as learn how to look after each other and create a supportive and encouraging environment.
Each week we have been improving our skills, focusing on one step at a time. The tamariki (children) have been enjoying these sessions so much and their smiles, giggles and cheering fills the class with positivity!
