Gym Day!
Today since it was such a rainy day we all headed to the gym hall. We started with a game of ‘the floor is lava’. Everyone joined in, listening carefully to the music and how to move their bodies.
After a few games, we brought out some extra equipments to help burn off some energy indoors. The children enjoyed:
Balancing on the bench then jumping off and landing safely.
Throwing beanbags into a target.
Bouncing on the trampoline.
Bat and ball games.
Body boards.
This allowed for lots of opportunities to develop gross motor skills, learning to listen to instructions, moving our bodies in different ways, balance and coordination skills.
