21st Nov 2023

A lovely morning in scho today as we focused on developing our balance, agility, and coordination. Key skills for gross motor development ✨️
Why gross motor development is important.. 
Consistent engagement in gross motor development improves attention and memory which are necessary skills for learning. We regularly give our children opportunities to climb, ride bikes/scooters and play a range of sports during recess periods in the school day.
