This term, the children at Kempshott Under Fives have been focusing on physical activity. Soft play equipment and a tunnel were introduced indoors to support the development of physical strength and confidence. As the week progressed, the children showed increased confidence and a desire to challenge themselves further.

With adult support and encouragement, the children began climbing carefully over chairs and jumping safely into a bean bag, demonstrating good low-level risk taking. They listened well to guidance and showed awareness of their own abilities.

By the end of the week, the children extended this activity through imaginative play. They used the chairs and tunnels to create their own camps, with tunnels leading to and away from the structures. This showed strong imaginative skills, creativity, cooperation, and problem-solving, while continuing to develop physical coordination and confidence.

The children were highly engaged throughout the activity and clearly enjoyed combining physical play with imaginative exploration.
