The effervescence within the Psychotherapeutic and Pedagogical Institute (IPTP) of Breteuil (Eure) even extended to the town center of Brittany. Because, Tuesday, June 21, 2022first day of summer, the establishment managed by the association Richard Baret organized their own version of the Ninja Warriors.
Agility, strength, speed, precision
“A whole day with sixteen tests spread over the morning and afternoon in which children aged between 7 and 16 compete”, explains Claire Fayt, educator specializing in boarding school at the IPTP.
Spider, mountain bike course, inflatable structures, slack line, course with slaloms, hoops, or tunnels, petanque, goal shooting, archery…” This requires agility, strength, speed and precision. Teamwork is also very important. We wanted to vary the stands and the events to create a real dynamic and a rhythm”.
Such an event could not have taken place without the brilliant idea of one of the children of the establishment, Raphaël. “He is the one who takes the initiative”. In all, they are 80 to participate, divided into several teams and supervised by adults. “The importance of this day is the presence of all the professionals who make up the Institute. Catering employees, psychologists, teachers, integration officers, ladies on duty, “workshop” and “group” educators, psychomotricians. They all spend time with the children, in a good mood even if there is necessarily a little competition. It is above all a unifying event”.
A large picnic was organized for lunch, bringing together more than 150 people. The day ended with an awards ceremony and a snack. “Each child has his medal. We also have four cups to hand out: the most fair play, the most courageous, the most motivated, the most athletic.
As a reminder, the Breteuil establishment welcomes dozens of children in difficulty, recognized as disabled, with character and behavioral disorders associated with mild cognitive impairment.
