Get involved in your child's learning...

We are looking for volunteers to help run our PMP (Perceptual Motor Programme) on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons here at school. It would involve helping set up and pack the stations, and running one of the stations as the children participate. The time on these days is from 1:00 - 2:45. We will be starting next term. I have added some information about PMP and a link to the website if you want to read more about it. Or, you are welcome to come and talk to me about it and I will try and answer anything you may need to know.

PMP
PMP is a programme which aims to develop the child's perceptions and understandings of himself or herself in relation to her/his world, through movement/motor experiences. It aims to develop perceptions of height and space, the pattern and order of the child's natural world, the laws and limitations that govern the human body. Above all it aims to give the child confidence to manipulate him/herself in their world to suit her or his own best interests. PMP is seen as part of the programme of total experiences. It is not a physical education programme alone, or music, or fitness, or dance, or gymnastics. It is a programme that uses facets of all of the above in order to develop children's perceptions. The perceptions and judgments that are formed over time help determine how children react to their environment, to others, and to new ideas.
