🏀 Catching a ball ⚽

Learning how to catch a ball is an important skill that helps children participate in games with friends, build confidence in PE classes and develop foundational skills needed for many sports.

Here are some catching tips:
🙌 keep your hands ready in front of your body
👀 watch the ball all the way into your hands
🫴 reach towards the ball
👐 use two hands to catch

Helmets on, wheels rolling, confidence soaring! 🚴‍♀️🌟

Our first-ever Bike Skills School Holiday Intensive was a huge success! Over four days, our physiotherapists, speech pathologists and occupational therapists taught kids road rules, bike safety and basic maintenance, while also building confidence, coordination and social skills. 🛠️🚦

Every pedal pushed was a win. 🎉 Thank you to all the riders and the parents and carers who joined in!

KidsPT Book of the Month 🌟

Felix and His Fantastic Friends by Ellie Cole

This book is such a gem! Felix notices that all his friends play differently, and instead of brushing it off, he goes on a mission to understand why - and that’s what makes it so special.

It’s a brilliant tool for building perspective-taking skills early, and a natural conversation-starter for the playground or classroom. It’s written by Paralympian Ellie Cole, who brings real insight and heart to the story.

Highly recommend adding this one to your shelf 📚

What a day! 🎉 Our KidsPT team came together to celebrate 15 years of KidsPT and get excited for what’s ahead.

We were lucky enough to learn from some incredible presenters: Dr Katherine Sanchez on best practice in note-taking and documentation, and Larney Lamers & Jodi Christensen on trauma-informed practice. So much valuable knowledge to bring back into our work with families. 🙌

Add in some team wellbeing, an amazing lunch from Lucky Dip, and a whole lot of laughs, and it was honestly the perfect team day.

A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors, Active Rehab Equipment and Urgoform , for helping make the day possible. We couldn’t do it without you! 💛

Here’s to another great year ahead 💙💚

📚 KidsPT Book of the Month
Where’s Mrs Ladybird? by Ingela Arrhenius

The perfect introduction to books for our earliest learners. Thefelt flaps build turn-taking (lift, look, react), and the ending mirror surprise sparks joint attention, the foundation on which learning builds. Simple, sturdy, and it teaches us from the very first page that books are something you do together 🐞
