Ofsted Approves

Children benefit from tutored physical activities, such as ‘Stretch and Grow’ a type of movement to music. They march up and down gracefully, performing flying movements and mimicking train movements whilst standing on small circular floor spots. The lead tutor demonstrates the repertoire to engage children’s interest and make it more enjoyable and children beam with delight whilst engaging in the exercise. As children move and hop alternatively on each foot to fast pacing music their hearts beat faster. The tutor encourages children to touch their hearts to feel the difference in their heart beats after exercise and talk about the changes in their bodies when they participate in exercise.
