“Nothing great comes without a risk”.
After School Care added a little adventure to their outside time last week simply by adding a knotted rope.
The kids enjoyed multiple rounds of tug-o-war and then proceeded to mountain climb up the slide using teamwork and a lot of muscle.
I’m happy to report there where no injuries but there were a lot of really tired and happy kids.
Tk is having fun learning about how arctic animals use camouflage to survive!
