Small Peoples Workshops

Suitable for Key stage 1 plus Rainbows and Beavers
For small people we put the emphasis on FUN & SUCCESS

Balancing on items include Peddle go fun wheels, a trainer for the Unicycle
Balance boards which are a trainer for the Rola Rola. Children can do other skills on
Both Peddle Go and Balance boards-Juggling, hoops, Feathers, Flower sticks etc

Balance and throw items include Flower sticks which you balance on control sticks you can also throw and catch and create patterns-Feathers which are a great starter
For balancing items on your hands, chin, nose, foot and throw from hand to hand
These items are as simple or as difficult as you want to make them

Manipulation items include Juggling scarves which are slower than balls, Children start with one and add as they get more proficient-Ribbons are very easy but can also be used to create patterns & can even be used with acrobatics.
Most children will be successful on all the above items

WE ALSO HAVE A MINI TIGHTROPE (for photo, see Junior section)
Again, this is wonderful for balance and a great start for Gymnastics
We have found that children that can do this can walk the Wire Tightrope very soon

We put all the equipment on a circuit and break the class (max 35) into six or seven teams and rotate them until they have completed the circuit

Most should be able to succeed on all the items in the circuit

At the end of the session we ask if any of them would like to show of their new skills to the class

If we worked with the same children for a term we would expect to see an improvement in their balance, eye and hand coordination
And self confidence

For the very small children we do a demonstration workshop
And invite children to try if they want to

We find that some very small children would rather watch than try
