Our Pre-Schoolers Get Active with SGS College!
Our pre-schoolers have been taking part in exciting sports sessions with SGS College! Every Thursday, the wonderful students from SGS visit our Frogs group, bringing a variety of fun and engaging activities to get their hearts racing and their bodies moving. These sessions are a fantastic way for our little ones to develop essential physical skills while having a fun time with their friends.
Encouraging Active Play and Movement
Physical activity is an important part of early childhood development, helping children build coordination, balance, and strength. Through a mix of games, obstacle courses, and movement exercises, the SGS College students introduce our pre-schoolers to different ways to stay active, promoting a love for movement from an early age.
Building Confidence and Social Skills
Beyond the physical benefits, these sessions are also a wonderful opportunity for our children to build their confidence, teamwork, and social skills. Working alongside the SGS College students, they learn to take turns, follow instructions, and most importantly, have fun! The friendly and encouraging environment ensures that every child feels included and excited to participate.
Aligning with Our Nature Ethos
At Eden Early Years, we believe in fostering a deep connection with the natural world, and physical play is a key part of that. All of our sessions take place in a large open space, allowing our children to move freely, learning to fully utilise the space around them. Whether it's running, jumping, or stretching, these activities align perfectly with our ethos of nature-inspired learning.
During their sessions, the children have developed their throwing, passing, and teamwork skills using a variety of equipment. They have practiced kicking various balls, worked on accuracy by aiming bean bags into hoops, throwing as far as they can, and they even learned to pass small balls to each other.
A Huge Thank You to SGS College!
We are incredibly grateful to the students and staff at SGS College for bringing their enthusiasm and energy to our pre-schoolers each week. Their dedication and creativity make these sessions a highlight for our little ones, and we love seeing their faces light up as they take part in each activity.
We can’t wait for more Thursdays filled with movement, laughter, and learning! Keep an eye out for more updates as we continue our fantastic collaboration with SGS College. Would you like to find out more about how we encourage active play at Eden Early Years? Get in touch with us today!
