Perceptual Motor Programme

Each year the Year 1 and 2 children take part in the PMP programme that we run at Merrin.

We are very grateful for the support from the BOT for funding towards this programme each year and for the fantastic parent/grandparent helpers that support each session. Without this support, we could not run the 8-week programme, four days a week. Thank you again.

PMP is a  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.

In short, perceptual judgments prepare the brain for learning!
