Funky Monkey Bars bring fun and fitness to Iona Presentation Primary students
Through play, children explore and learn about the world. And what better way to do it than climbing, swinging and hanging from the monkey bars.
This week, the students at Iona Presentation Primary School have been putting their new Funky Monkey Bars to the test.
Hanging, swinging, dangling, twisting, turning and climbing; the children have been doing it all.
"Monkey Bars are fantastic for building upper body strength and helping with gross motor skills," said Principal Jennifer Anderson.
"Research shows that swinging from the monkey bars is not only fun, it also helps develop hand strength, muscle control, flexibility and agility, strength, dexterity and coordination."
The monkey bars are the first of many exciting additions to the primary school, including a much-anticipated nature playground due to be installed next year.
"The monkey bars have also been a hit for our older students who have been using the equipment for fun and fitness sessions during their Sport lessons."
