P.M.P. in the hall has started!

PMP means Perceptual Motor Programme - each class has a turn in the hall on Mondays and Wednesdays after lunch using all this equipment. We practise our balancing, climbing, throwing and catching, moving our bodies through, under and over shapes. We need to listen carefully and work as a team too.

We love our new sandpit!

"We like to make sandcastles, dig holes and make tunnels in the new sandpit," said Toby.



"I think the slide is the best part," said Elizabeth.



Tuesday is the Bachelors' special day in the sandpit.

"We like walking around all the edges," said Charlotte

"A view from my Room" Come and look at all our wonderful paper collage work!.
