Students develop the physical & perceptual awareness to thrive in the environments they live in. Through the practice of parcours they learn the skills to safely land, roll, balance, crawl, run, leap, vault, help each other, climb & much more. All outdoors. | Students connect & engage with the natural world. They will learn about plant species, weather patterns, land history, seasonal changes, tracking & tracing, birds song, bugs & so much more. |
