Pre-School -P.E- Roll And Control
In P.E., Preschool children have been developing their ball skills, focusing on controlling the ball when rolling and catching. They practiced receiving the ball with their hands and learning to absorb its force to prevent it from bouncing away. These activities help develop key skills such as hand-eye coordination, timing, and proper hand positioning. When throwing, children worked on propelling the ball through the air with accuracy and control. In the early years, the focus is on building these fundamental skills—rolling, throwing, and catching—which form the foundation for more advanced physical development.

Online Safety - Roblox
Whilst they can be a great way for friends to socialise, online games like Roblox that allow multiplayer gameplay with strangers are always fraught with a variety of dangers that can expose children to inappropriate or harmful content. Roblox enables people to play anonymously, which can often be something that attracts people to misuse the game and potentially put young people at risk of harm. In addition to interacting with random strangers across the world, other factors such as in-game purchases and potential scams can also pose a financial risk. It’s important that parents and educators remain aware of the risks associated with this popular title and how it can be used safely. This free guide – also available in podcast format – offers parents and educators expert advice on what can be done to ensure that young people have a safe and enjoyable experience with Roblox.
