Fundamental Movement Skills with Ms. Farrelly

The junior pupils were developing essential fundamental movement skills (FMS) through an engaging session with Ms. Farrelly. These skills, such as running, jumping, throwing, and catching, are the building blocks for more complex motor skills and are crucial for overall physical development and coordination. Ms. Farrelly's fun and interactive approach makes learning these skills enjoyable for the children, fostering a love for physical activity that will benefit them throughout their lives.
