Perceptual+Motor+Programme

= Perceptual Motor Programme (PMP) =

This year we will be continuing a very exciting programme called the Perceptual Motor Programme that we would like to share with you. The children in the Junior Room at Colville School are participating in the PMP programme along with 3 and 4 year olds from the local Early Learning Centre. The programme aims to teach a child perceptions and understandings of their world through movement experiences. The programme aims to give the child experiences in seeing, hearing, touch and movement through sequenced activities which include running, hopping, jumping balancing, throwing, climbing , catching etc using a variety of especially designed and common equipment. Children develop perception, motor and memory skills which all helps with the learning process. Not only all that but the children love it! Our new 2011 year 3 students will be trained as leaders and under the watchful eye of Mrs Mackenzie our leader in the programme and myself will be I am sure excellent role models for our youngest students. It is such an incredibly rewarding and fun programme we wanted to share it with you.
