skills and conquer fears. E.g climbing trees, climbing the van, lifting large objects, balancing on high beams or using ropes to build and balance, Using 'dangerous' tools such as saws, water slides, assault courses,
using and lighting a fire pit to cook. Some children discover strength and confidence they didn’t know they had.
⚾️ Sports and Games - which allows children to be interactive and sociable with each other and to work together for a common goal, through sports and playing games. these include football, cricket, rounders, archery, badminton, volleyball, tag, parachute games, tennis and many more.
💦 Messy Play - which allows children to discover textures and and the effect some ingredients have on each other through fun experiments, painting, foam play, slime play, sand & water play and all types of arts and crafts using materials from our scrap store.
