We regularly invite our children into nature walks and outdoor play in our extensive outdoor spaces to support their learning, physical development and wellbeing.
Lately, soccer on the main lawn has been a favourite. When our Johnson House children saw children from Gorton House enjoying a soccer game from their veranda, Educator Janice asked Gorton House Educator Deepa if Johnson House could join in, sparking shared play across the Houses. ⚽🌿
Together, children discussed how they felt: some wanted extra practice to build confidence; others valued participation and enjoyment over scoring goals.
In October, the children proudly wore their favourite soccer team jerseys for the first friendly inter-House match—and they haven’t stopped asking for the next game!
An exciting and fun second match took place this week, deepening children’s physical wellbeing, social connections, cooperation and a strong sense of community. 🧡
Join the conversation: What helps your child feel confident trying new things?
