tuffspot Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Just read on another forum about children getting changed for PE lessons in a pre-school... Do nurseries have timetabled PE lessons where they get changed into PE kit? how often during the week? What other "subjects" do nurseries cover over and above the 6 AOL? I know some offer French/spanish etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you charge each family for whatever 'extras' their child takes, do some families decide not to take part? And if so, what do these children do when these extra curricular activities are taking place? Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 We are on a school site so we use their hall for 'PE' to get the rising five group used to the hall and changing for PE. We start in the autumn with just changing into PE plimsoles, then in January change into shorts and t-shirt. As with anything else, PE meets the needs of the individual children, nothing too complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds as if you fully exploit all the opportunities your setting offers! And how lovely for the staff to be able to have a swim at the end of a stressful session...

HappyMaz Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 we to toddler aerobics ..does that count One of my Brownie mums came and did Pilates the girls last week - idly wondered if we could incorporate some into our physical sessions for nursery. Especially the relaxation bit at the end.... Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I try to do a twenty minute block of 'PE' each week alternanting between the morning and aftenoon session in the school hall. I use 'Action Kids 600' by Val Sabin and it is fantastic. It has lesson plans linked to the ELG's and 2 CD's to match the lessons. They are fantastic and easy to adapt to your own children. They cover aspects of movement, dance, gym etc. We also have french for 20 minutes each week. Jayne xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
