Waterdown Montessori School

The classroom assistants run our physical education programme in Casa. Gym time is scheduled once or twice a week, and lasts 30 minutes. The children are grouped by age, so that the assistant will take the 3 year olds from her class, the 4 year olds, and the 5 year olds in separate groups, either into the gymnasium, or outside when the weather permits.

Activities are geared towards the ages of the children. The focus is mainly on activity, coordination and games. Skills are developed with balls, skipping ropes and other equipment. The assistant is responsible for writing the gym comment on the report cards.
