The children at Kings Caple Primary are excitedly looking forward to welcoming an ex-student on Wednesday 10th July who will demonstrate his passion of parkour and circus skills to the children in a workshop. Parkour ‘is a sport that encourages self-improvement on all levels, revealing one’s physical and mental limits whilst simultaneously offering ways to overcome them’ (www.parkour.com).
The children will have the opportunity to learn some movements safely in a controlled way and hone their co-ordination and balance skills whilst learning a little of the history and back-story of what is a long tradition of circus and the relatively new phenomenon of parkour.
