Kinder Tug of War (PS) Our little ones from Kinder had a Tug of War tied into the push and pull science unit. The game demonstrated the effects of push and pull in a ‘‘real world’’ fun way.

Our eagles also displayed great sportsmanship and good character by high fiving and congratulating each other after each match!
