As the Active Lifestyles Officer for the University, you can be forgiven for thinking that I never lose
enthusiasm for physical activity, but when it's 7:00 am on a Sunday morning and you've had a late night the night before you really do have to dig deep to get yourself up and going.
With joy and devotion they express wonder
for life and
enthusiasm for work, building a strong bridge to later academic learning: Songs and nursery rhymes cultivate intimacy with language building literacy skills; Listening to stories, watching puppet shows and dramatic play strengthen the power of memory and imagination; Counting games and rhythmic
activities build a solid foundation
for arithmetic and number skills; Work
activities develop coordination and the ability to concentrate; Outdoor
activities, including play and hiking, encourage healthy
physical development and an appreciation of nature and seasonal changes.
