Students have participated in various fitness activities to practice fundamental movement skills and gross motor development. They have experimented with strength movements such as ‘bear walk’ and ‘crab walk’, they have also worked on improving their balance and coordination by undertaking skill-drills in hopping, skipping and manoeuvring various pieces of sport’s equipment.
Along with developing our physical skills, the R/1 students have also engaged in regular yoga and mindfulness sessions promoting calmness and stillness. Students have practiced forming different yoga poses and using their bodies creatively to make different shapes.
A group of our R/1 students have also worked with Tina Wood on the ‘Move It Coordination Program’. These sessions build confidence and gross motor skill development in a small group setting.
