Music and Movement Day
Our bodies are amazing, they are designed to move. Our brain and bodies love to move and the more we move, the better we feel and the stronger we become! Movement isn’t just about physical education (PE) and exercise, it’s so much more and generally a lot more fun when we do it with our friends.
Today the inspirational Helen from Music and Movement is going to show you some fun activities to explore movement and make our clever brains and busy bodies work together.
