Building Confidence on Three Wheels

3rd Jan 2025

This week, our students took on a new and exciting challenge—riding tricycles! For some, it was their first time getting on the saddle, while others were ready to zoom around with growing confidence.

Learning to ride a tricycle is more than just fun; it’s a fantastic way for children to develop key skills:

  • Coordination – balancing, pedaling, and steering all at once.
  • Gross motor skills – strengthening their legs and improving overall movement.
  • Independence – taking charge of their tricycle and setting their own pace.
  • Perseverance – pushing through challenges and celebrating every small success.

We watched with pride as the children demonstrated determination and joy, whether they were pedaling steadily forward or giving it another go after a tumble. Seeing their confidence grow with every ride has been a highlight of the week.

Parents, your children are making incredible strides, both on and off the tricycles. We’re thrilled to be part of their journey and can’t wait to see what they achieve next!
