We are Room 5: Hallowe'en Fun

We enjoyed a special Fizzy Gym for Hallowe'en with ghoulish games and eerie exercises! Fizzy Gym is a programme designed by Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists in East Kent NHS. It has three levels of difficulty in Body Awareness & Co-ordination, Balance and Ball Skills. Our children move through the levels in each area and also tackle fine motor skills development in Room 5 through activities based on the clever hands programme - also from East Kent. There are normally 5 or 6 stations that they rotate around in groups. Here is a link to the original leaflets upon which we base our exercises.

Fizzy's Training Programme

Here are the children enjoying their activities. As it is a Hallowe'en special we made a few changes to simplify exercises:

Alfie throwing bean bags

Co-ordination needed

for mummy making!

Cole and Peter working together.

A strength building exercise for the arms.

Hand/eye coordination being developed.

As you can see it is a busy exercise class as we have 3 unit classes and half our Primary 1 class taking part each week. We will take a fresh look at the programme in January so watch this space for further developments.
