Monkeynastics

Every Monday, we offer our preschoolers a gymnastics session with our wonderful Monkeynastics teacher, Steve. During this, children are supported with their gross motor skills in a range of fun, challenging ways.

Steve uses a holistic plan that combines creativity to support young children in flexibility, balance, strength, agility, co-ordination and body awareness. Steve often brings lots of equipment for each child to have a go; such as gym mats, balance beams, tumble mats, parallel bars, mini trampolines and soft-play shapes.
In this particular session, children started off by using hoops and foam shapes to create an obstacle course. This also supported children in working together and waiting for their next turn. They then had opportunities to safely practice rolling over and swinging.
