What have we been up to this week?
At Ambleside Academy, our Reception Sports Day was a vibrant celebration of physical education and early development. The event allowed our young learners to meet various Early Learning Goals (ELGs) through fun and engaging activities. Running races and obstacle courses helped enhance their gross motor skills, aligning with the Physical Development ELG. Team-based events fostered a sense of fairness and cooperation, supporting their Personal, Social, and Emotional Development. Communication skills flourished as children followed instructions and cheered for their peers, meeting key aspects of the Communication and Language ELG. Additionally, the day’s activities incorporated mathematical concepts like counting and estimation, reinforcing the Mathematics ELG in a practical setting. Overall, Sports Day was a wonderful opportunity for our Reception students to learn, grow, and enjoy the spirit of teamwork and healthy competition.
