You can either follow the link to 'Cosmic yoga' a firm favourite of all the children or have a go at perfecting these familiar poses we have been doing with the children at school. See if you can find any other animal yoga poses yourself, we would love to see any video or pictures. As an additional physical activity we want you to practice name writing with your child daily, something we do in Nursery both morning and afternoon sessions on arrival. |
