Early Childhood News

Children of the Early Childhood section demonstrated their physical skills on a circuit of 8 stations. Children performed on the large apparatus in the hall. They showed their skills in on the small apparatus e.g. balls, ropes and hoops. They worked as teams on the parachute. There were races in the secondary playground as well as demonstrations of music, movement and mime classes.
All the children enjoyed showing off their agility and skills. The PTA provided drinks and cakes at the end and parents of the school were all impressed by their talented offspring.
