4. If you are wanting to burn excess energy in your kids in the hope they will have a restful afternoon then look no further than Parkour! Park-what you say? Parkour is a sport where practitioners try to get from A to B using the obstacles in their way to increase efficiency. Think running, vaulting, climbing, jumping, rolling, flipping, spinning and twisting. So basically, how most of our 5 year olds get around! If this sounds like something your child would love, the Castlemaine Circus are running special classes during the spring school holidays for 5-8 and 9-12 year olds.
