Nursery - P.E - Frog Jumps
During our P.E. lesson, the children enthusiastically engaged in mimicking frog movements. The children worked on their jumping technique, bending their knees and crouching low like frogs, the children demonstrated good understanding and attempted the action with varying levels of balance and control. This indicates developing gross motor skills, specifically coordination and balance. The children showed excitement when encouraged to jump onto the chalk-drawn lily pads. They performed small jumps with both feet together, landing with bent knees. The height and distance of their jumps varied, reflecting different levels of physical development and confidence. The children also linked sound effects to their movements, shouting 'ribbit' as they jumped from one lily pad to another.

Pre-School- Physical Development- Help The Flowers Grow
In Pre-School the children have been developing their fine motor skills using the bottle sprays to squeeze the handle to water the painted flowers. The children are building muscle strength in their fingers through fine motor skill activities that offer a wealth of benefits, particularly in the development of writing: Stronger finger muscles, especially the thumb, index, and middle fingers (used in the tripod grip), allow for a more controlled and comfortable hold on the pencil. This reduces fatigue and improves dexterity. Increased strength enables more precise movements of the fingers, which are essential for forming letters accurately, neatly, and with appropriate pressure. These activities build finger strength often also improve the ability to move the fingers independently and in coordination (in-hand manipulation), which is vital for adjusting the pencil within the hand without losing contact with the paper.
