Dear Parents,


November was the month of activities across the Climbing Wall for our students.


Kindergarteners started with very simple activities to reduce any feelings of anxiety.

It was of great importance for us to support our peers who did not have previous

experience on the climbing wall, and help them feel more confident in their first at-

tempts.


After simple climbing (panel by panel) and climb-ups and climb-downs using all

three hold colors, (yellow, red and green), we named a specific color a “hot spot”,

meaning it could not be touched by a students’ hands or feet. We also played a

game of “thin ice” where a ribbon is stretched around several holds to create an

imaginary area of challenge, containing holds the students may not use.


We also had fun playing some climbing wall games such as “Sharks Attack”,

“Remote Control “and “Ring Collecting”.


Through all of these activities we worked on improving students’ body coordination,

self-confidence and especially upper body and arm strength. Kindergarteners took
positive risks, trying to make good decisions in order to traverse safely and com-

plete their tasks successfully.
