This week (wb 12.10.2026) we will not be able to do our PE in the hall due to flu vaccines taking place. Instead, we will complete our learning on the playground, weather permitting. We will look at a new Healthy Movers activity for the children to participate in.
In Nursery, we do PE every Thursday. It is important that you send your child to school in their kit after the October half-term so they can complete our activities safely.
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).
