PMP Programme

Today we thought about our PMP programme. We used our 7 servants and asked questions to each other about it. Then we had to answer the questions.

                                                       What is PMP?
 PMP is activities we do to exercise. PMP stands for Perceptual Motor Programme.



 
Who runs it?
Liz and the parents from our school.

Where do you do it?
In the hall.



When do you do it?
We go to PMP on Monday and Tuesday.




How long do you do it for each day?
We are in the hall for half and hour.

What do you do?
The activities we do are crawling, jumping, rolling, catching, naming, tightrope walking, eye exercise, stepping and matching.

Why do you go to PMP?
To get fit and to exercise and practise our coordination.

Which activities do you have to do?
There are 5 stations in the hall. we are in groups and we get to do the activities. We have to jump over the rope, crawl along the rope like a baby, lie down and keep your eye on the ball, roll the ball and practise catching, throw the bean bag in the hoop, balance on the line, step through the ladder, crawl through the tunnel, crawl through the shapes, and jump on the shapes.

Garden Explorers

On Monday we went to the Botanical Gardens. We met Ben, Katy and Brian.

Ben told us how to make friends with the trees. We had to put a blindfold on and hold out our monster arms to feel for the trees. Our partner had to hold our shoulders and help us walk along.

Then Ben took us to meet Betty Beetle. We had to help Betty find her friends. We had a magnifying glass to hunt for the insects.

After that we played a forest game. Some of us were insects and some of us were birds. The adults were the trees. The builder chopped down some trees and we had to find new homes for the insects. Then we had to plant a new tree because the insects didn't have a house to live in.

At the end Ben read us a story. We helped Ben with the puppets.

We had lots of fun at the Botanical gardens.

Mathletics

We are so excited to be able to get the laptops out every day to use the Mathletics programme. We open the internet by getting onto Safari and then we find the Mathletics site. We have to put in our unique code and then it's time to solve all the problems. This is so much fun.

My Family Stories

We have been writing stories about 'My Family'.

We used the word lists and letter boards to help us.
 We wrote sentences about who is in our family and what we like to do together.

We published our stories and they are hanging in our classroom.

Pita Penguin came to our assembly at Addington School.
