Fitness and exercise are important aspects for<br />
a healthy lifestyle. Gross motor movement is an<br />
imperative aspect of development from a very<br />
young age. These activities help strengthen a child’s<br />
muscles so that various activities can be performed.<br />
Basic gross motor skills need to be in place before<br />
a child’s fine motor control can develop. Starting<br />
an exercise programme or participating in exercise<br />
and sport regularly increases fitness, confidence and<br />
general well-being.<br />
To become a professional Soccer player takes many<br />
years of hard work and dedication, and it all starts in Pre-<br />
Primary School. As a young child, you start learning the<br />
basic skills needed, so that skills can be developed and<br />
strengthened, as the child gets older. With Soccer, fitness<br />
is extremely important. Making it fun with lots of games<br />
will encourage a young child to participate and keep<br />
active as well. Soccer is a team sport in which children<br />
learn life skills as well. Communication, respect and good<br />
sportsmanship are important values that need to be<br />
taught at a young age.<br />

Our Physical Education<br />
Coach Vanessa D’Aguiar<br />
takes the pupils up to<br />
our Preparatory Astro for<br />
their Movement lessons. A<br />
favourite is the sack race<br />
– an age-old tradition that<br />
never grows old! These<br />
future athletes are learning<br />
the skills of not only being<br />
competitive but also<br />
how to treat their fellow<br />
competitors with respect.<br />

a gymnast like Hannah<br />
