Good morning girls!!!
The big week is here... I'm sure you are all as excited for graduation as I am!!! We've decided to give you some fun activities to try out over the next few days. There isn't anything suggested for Friday as I'm sure you'll be busy getting set for our ceremony in the evening. You've all done such a brilliant job of staying on top of your schoolwork over the last three months. You should be very proud of yourselves!
Have a great week and I hope you enjoy some of these activities! See you all on Friday!

Obstacle Course Example

Can involve static balance or controlling the body while moving!! Why not create an obstacle course that includes some balances, rolls, high and low movement. Could you include the element of water if the obstacle course takes place outside?
Be as inventive as you like!
Friday: Graduation!! Looking forward to seeing you all at 7pm!
