Over this half term the children are learning how to move their bodies in different ways. This week we are looking at straight jumps and star jumps. The children will be observing and practising bending their knees to jump and then completing a safe landing by bending their knees as they land. Once the children are confident with this we will move on to looking at different jumps. 

We are also working on our curriculum goal of becoming increasingly independent when dressing themselves by asking all children to put their coats on independently. We are also teaching the children how to do their zips. This is an end of year target for Nursery which all children need to achieve. 

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.
