Super fine motor SKILLS

Last week BeeActive came in to play some games with us! We loved joining in and playing with our friends.

We have begun Gymnastics this half term and we have remembered a lot of the shapes that we made with our bodies from Reception. The children could show me a tuck, pike, straddle and star shape. We also recapped some more of the shapes that we may have forgotten about and used them in a sequence.

We had a fantastic afternoon on Sports Day! We enjoyed competing in the sack race, obstacle course and the sprint. The children showed wonderful determination and great sportsmanship to cheer each other on. Everybody took part and had lots of fun! It was lovely to invite parents in to share the…
