Play at Putikitiki

Putikitiki is the large field at the bottom of our school.  It is a fun place to play, but we have to go with a teacher or an adult to play there.
This afternoon we explored the climbing frame and big swing on Putikitiki.  This play encourages gross motor development which is necessary for formal learning such as reading and writing.  There was a lot of group work and cooperation on the swing, as well as negotiating who was going to push!
