![](https://darwenstjames.co.uk/images/news/6255b9e6-08d2-4fd7-b69d-7f4472e8bb63.jpeg)Reception had their very first PE lesson today and absolutely loved it! They learned about the importance of keeping a safe space and how to move around the hall carefully. Hoops were used to help them picture their own space, and then they explored moving in different ways – jumping, jogging, hopping and walking – before returning to their safe spot.
