During their year in Reception, our children refine their motor
skills through energetic play indoors and outdoors. They respond to
music and stories, moving appropriately and they use apparatus to
refine climbing, jumping, throwing and catching skills. Play is
sometimes individual and sometimes co-operative, for example
working together to control a parachute or giant ball. In the
classroom, a variety of toys and a magical making area allow
children to practise skills such as cutting and constructing.
