This week (wb 2.11.2026) we will look at a new Healthy Movers activity for the children to participate in. The children have been joining in with these well so far and they are enjoying developing their balance, co-ordination and stamina.  

In Nursery, we do PE every Thursday. Please ensure that your child is in their PE kit every Thursday. This includes:

• Black joggers/ leggings.
• Black t-shirt.
• Black jumper. 
• Trainers/ plimsolls.

If your child usually wears tights, please make sure they are wearing socks for PE to support them with taking off their own socks and shoes. 

We are increasing the amount of physical activity the children receive in the daily sessions at Nursery. Did you know that children aged 2–5 should have 180 active minutes a day? This is equivalent to 3 hours a day. It does not need to happen all in on go, but should be occurring from the moment children wake up in the morning to when they go to bed.  

Please support your child's physical education and development by getting them to dress themselves and practice doing zips up. We also recommend that children walk to and from Nursery every day to build their strength and gross motor skills (this is also an excellent way to contribute to the 180 active minutes).
