Physical education programme in LC6 and LC7




Learning Communities 6 and 7 have recently begun a physical education programme designed to improve children’s gross and fine motor skills. The Perceptual Motor Programme, or PMP, requires children to complete a series of activities specifically designed to improve different physical skills, including balance, memory and physical agility.The children LOVE the activities - in fact they go out to help set theequipment up and have fun with it before school starts! The programme runsfor 15 minutes each day, Monday to Thursday.
LC6 and LC7 have great support from a number of parents who come each morning toset-up the equipment (and pack it away at the end of the session), and theyalso help support the children at each of the six stations. We reallyappreciate all this wonderful parent help.
