Rain and puddles

We got all dressed up in our waterproof pants, raincoats and gumboots and jumped, ran, rolled and danced in puddles! We encouraged all tamariki to have a go experiencing these puddles! 

 This experience is important to tamariki as it helps them build on their gross motor skills, balancing skills, and hand-eye-foot coordination and is also fun. Getting messy and muddy is a valuable learning experience as it helps tamariki understand that they can fully involve themselves in their experiences no matter the weather.
