P.E.

The children now have their photo ID to take to the P.E. Trolley so they can borrow equipment to play with. The photo tracks that they have borrowed equipment, then it is returned to them when they return the equipment. Day 1 with their photos and they are loving it. They all borrowed equipment today.





Handwriting

Learning to form letters correctly can be very tricky. It's much more fun to write them in shaving cream.






Foundation Skills

As part of the Foundation Skills/Fitness programme the children practice eye tracking and co-ordination skills by throwing, catching and tapping balloons.
