Mrs Bannister organised another fun Monday morning! There was lots of fun from ice skating, painting ice pizza, snow eggs, eating snow and ice, making matching snow hats, snowmen, and ladies, teamwork to roll big snow balls and opening our mouths to taste the falling snow and hail! Special thanks (as always) to Mrs Bannister for being the best play support worker!!

We love…PE
This term in PE we have been doing activities from the Better Movers and Thinkers programme.
“Better Movers and Thinkers (BMT) is an approach to learning and teaching in physical education designed to develop the ability of all children and young people to move and think in a more cohesive way with a specific focus on developing, enhancing and fostering Executive Function (EF) skills within the learning process.” Better Movers and Thinkers Resource Pack.
Although our main focus has been on Coordination & Fluency, we have worked on many different Specific Aspects of Learning including, kinaesthetic awareness, gross and fine motor skills, communication, decision making and stamina are just a few.
Here we are in action.
