Foot to the pedal


Having been opposed to having bikes at kindergarten in the past, I have been surprised at how well the children have been using the donated bikes creatively and co-operatively.  So, when I saw this bike with a sidecar advertised I wondered if it would continue to promote this relationship building type of play.  It was a wet morning when the sidecar arrived so we set up a track inside.  The combination of carpet and a passenger made for challenging peddling.  I am sure the muscles had developed over the space of a morning!  LetÊ»s hope that it is fine on Monday so that we can try it on the concrete outside.

Up, up, up


We have just found the rope to our climbing wall after months of searching for it.  Within an instant there was a queue.  Pulling yourself up with the rope requires strength and skill.  It seems that we have some very skillful children at this kindergarten just like Archie.
