PMP or Perceptual Motor Programme, is to assist students in their learning by focusing brain activity in the brain. (That's it in a nut shell, but far more complex than that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Room 1 and 2, the Brainiaks and Rockets have started the programme again this term, and having great fun with it.
There are six stations, each one developing specific brain functions and body movements. One station is changed each week to maintain development but also the fun for the children. It really is so interesting from a teachers perspective, how children co-ordinate movements in such diverse ways.
