This term our physical focus is going to be 'running', as the children have been running tracks inside the kindergarten gate so we are extending it to running on the fields up the back. This tied in with the Winter Wonderland walk with families too.
We also purchased some medicine balls (from Kmart) they weigh 3kgs and are a perfect size for the children to manage. Last week we set up relay teams, you could run or walk and then we added challenge by putting them up above your head. Great finger, hand and arm strengthening and develops core strength with it above their heads.
Modelling relay to 3 and 4 year olds was heaps of fun but once they had figured out the flow they really enjoyed it.
There is a big interest in frisbee throwing too so we have had sessions out the back of the kindergarten on the courts as frisbees definitely need space. If anyone wants to come along and give us a few throwing tips we would appreciate it.
