Park Adventures
Every trip to the park brings new things to see and discover. As kids play, they can gain a sense of accomplishment from the challenges they meet outdoors, which can lead to greater self-confidence and a feeling of self-worth. The children were full of adventure today as they strengthened and developed both their gross and fine motor skills as they made their way around the different challenges Milverton Park has to offer.
There was plenty of excited energy being burnt off and a whole lot of calculated risk-taking. We love having Milverton Park just up around the corner and we know the physical benefits it offers some of our older tamariki as they near their school transition and begin outgrowing the play equipment we have here at BestStart Marne Street.
While there was plenty of physical development happening, there were also a lot of social skills being worked on as they participated together to climb onto equipment and challenge each other to see who can get from one place to another the fastest. Language development is also present as they shouted encouragement across the playground or asked each other for help with a push on the swing.
It's safe to say our trips to the park are always filled with so much learning and most importantly lots and lots of free play and fun.
