Sports Event at Kindy
The sports event was a great success with most of our tamariki participating and performing their best. We had lots of games, such as the sack race, balancing, three-legged race, moon hopper race, the ball relay, and water balloons. The tamariki were given medals and certificates as well as ice- blocks at the end of the event for being so sporting and performing with full zeal. Physical activities offer opportunities to children to gain confidence, refine their motor skills, and learn to participate within teams. The teachers modeled the actions, explained the rules of the game, and scaffolded their learning throughout. The tamariki learned to follow the rules of the game, besides developing a sense of enjoyment in participating and playing alongside others.
