\u00a0 Each PE lesson gave the younger children a chance to experience a lesson much the same as the ones they\u2019ll get when they go into primary school.\u00a0 The lessons were themed on run, jump, throw activities relating to athletics.\u00a0 The Public Health Network funding has also allowed equipment and activity cards to be\u00a0purchased for all pre five units so they can continue delivering athletics activities in the new term.<\/p>\n

To celebrate these Olympic sports in each unit they held a Mini, Mini Olympics Festival in June at Lochgilphead Joint Campus.\u00a0 Almost all three and four year old children in Mid Argyll came along and took part in a circuit of activities.\u00a0 It was a fantastic chance for all local pre five children to come together and take part in Olympic themed activities.\u00a0 A fun morning was had by all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
