PMP

Throughout the year, Prep students participate in Perceptual Motor Program (PMP). “Perceptual Motor is a program which aims to develop the child’s perceptions and understandings of him/herself in his/her world through movement/motor experience.” These experiences will help your child to develop locomotion, balance, hand/eye/foot coordination, fitness, body image, body rhythm, and spatial awareness. PMP aims to develop the child rather than a skill. It is a program where language is the key. It provides the child with a wide range of experiences in seeing, touching, hearing, making perceptual judgements and reacting. PMP is about how “we” can assist the child to function more successfully in all areas of the school curriculum. All movement activities have been carefully planned so that higher order of skills is accomplished. PMP can only run with the support of parent volunteers. We would like to thank all the parents who have helped so far this year and the parents that will help during the rest of the year.
