Year Three Newsletter
Week 6, Term 1
As part of our school programme we do daily fitness activities and games to help us develop strong and healthy bodies. During fitness time, as a year 3 cohort, we learn new games such as “Eggs in a Basket” and “Fox and Hares.” Both of these games are fun running activities. These new games are added to old favourites such as Octopus which we play during Fitness. We also run the yellow track to build our fitness and endurance levels and on rainy days we have some fun indoor movement activities.
