Here are some comments from the children:
"I was proud of Molly on the trapeze. She got to the top but then started crying and said she was scared - but she tried and did it!" - Kaci
"I persevered turning on the street surfing board" - Connor
"I was proud of myself because I tried to get to the top, I was really scared. The best bit was surfing" - Sienna
"When I got to the trapeze I got scared, but Jacqui (our TA) encouraged me to go on. She set me a target and I climbed up" - Alfie F.
"I think Maciej persevered and did not give up when we were doing street surfing. Me and Connor helped Maciej get his balance and after a while he was really good at it" - Arlo
