Reception have been doing a fantastic job in their second week at Merry Hill School! We have been talking about our Golden Rules then showing how we follow them so we can all feel happy together. The children have been looking after property by changing for PE and putting their uniform inside their PE kits so they can find it again at the end of the lesson!
PE was a great success, we learnt how to set up the equipment safely by listening to instructions and working as a team. We discussed and learnt different ways to move our body. Some of the things we came up with were hopping, jumping, walking, running and rolling. We discussed the difference between jumping and hopping; it is that “hopping is using one foot” and “jumping is landing on two feet at the same time!”
How you can help at home:

Can you go on a scavenger hunt for something at home that begins with ‘nnnnnnnn’?
