Active Early Years

The children in Nursery have been enjoying taking part in physical activities in the outdoor area. They have been practising their aim by throwing beanbags into nets, exploring different ways of jumping by crossing the hoop ‘bridge’, and taking part in team games using our new hockey equipment. We set a new physical challenge for the children every week.
