PHYSICAL

The environment provided an opportunity for children to develop many physical skills through self-directed play. Through trying, failing and trying again, children were able to assess risk and practice many physical elements, including:

• Movement skills and coordination - climbing trees and ropes
• Movement skills and agility - running and jumping over various surfaces, such as puddles and rocky ground
• Object manipulation - moving rocks around to explore and building camp fires (with supervision)
• Stability/balance - balancing on logs
• Strength – undoing bolts.
