Cooper and Mead groups



The Cooper and Mead Rooms combined, and this week has been about "Being Active" together.

We discussed what "being active" means...

"It means play" suggested Ajeet

"We do drills" said Jesse

Austin suggested "we throw a ball through a hoop"

"And a net" said Erin

"I have a boogie board to be active" Hannah told us

We decided to go to the hockey pitch to do some of the healthy, active things we had discussed.

"If your going it's called joggling" Jack O told us and we all tried "joggling" around the pitch together.

"Hey we could play rug - lay next!" Jack suggested

We have been jogging, participated in a dance class, played games, and been for walks. The children had lots of wonderful suggestions on how they could be active at school and at home.

Don't forget next Wednesday is "Pyjama Day" !

Have a great weekend!

Emma, Wendy and Susan
