PE Fun: Bench Balancing Practice!

19th Nov 2025

We're thrilled to share how much the children in ASC1 and ASC2 are enjoying the fun and engaging PE sessions with the coach! This week, they've been taking part in Bench Balancing Practice, a fantastic activity designed to be both challenging and wonderfully beneficial for their physical development.

Bench Balancing Practice is a super way for children to develop essential gross motor skills they need for school, sports and life. This activity actively promotes:

  • Balance and Coordination: Navigating the bench helps the children refine their stability and control as they move.
  • Spatial Awareness: They learn to judge distance and effectively position their bodies in space.
  • Core Strength: Maintaining balance on the bench engages and strengthens their core muscles—the powerhouse for all movement!

It's wonderful to see the children tackling this challenge with such enthusiasm! Keep an eye out for photos from the session coming soon!
