We have heard children talking about the Olympic games at kindergarten. Cullen said how he has seen the diving from the high board and how many flips the divers can do. Eli told me he won a gold medal at his running races. You can see here children participating in shot put, high bars and tumbling. We have also offered children to create silver fern prints to represent New Zealand at the Olympics.
Children have also asked to set up a high jump and long jump in the sandpit. We looked carefully at the Olympic rings to see what colours they are. Many children went on to create the Olympic ring symbols using round stampers.
When the weather has been fine and sunny, we set up the balancing beams at many different heights for the children to practise their balancing skills and challenge themselves with the different heights. One afternoon we used the high jump elastic to play The Limbo game. We found limbo music, it was great fun.
