Perceptual Motor Programme

Our Year 1 tamariki participate in PMP.  This programme is held in the school hall, 9.00 to 11.00 Thursday & Friday.  This programme develops motor skills through lots of enjoyable, sequenced activities:

• Balance
• Hand-eye & foot-eye co-ordination
• Body image & position in space
• Locomotion & fitness
• Auditory memory
• Eye tracking

PMP helps the children to:

• Concentrate
• Remember
• Follow instructions
• Organise themselves

These are underlying skills necessary for:

• Reading
• Handwriting & Writing
• Maths
• Problem solving
• Sports skills
• Fitness

Adult supervisors are required to run this very worthwhile programme. Parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts – do you have half an hour to spare?

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
