This half-term we have combined storytelling, movement, and mindfulness in a magical adventure: Bear Hunt Yoga! with the help from Mrs Bathgate. Our little explorers embarked on a journey that stretched both their imaginations and their bodies. Each part of the story became a different yoga pose.

Not only did this activity help develop gross motor skills, balance, and coordination, but it also encouraged listening, sequencing, and emotional expression. The children loved acting out the story and were fully immersed in the adventure.

We ended our session with a calming moment, lying down and imagining we were safe and warm back home, just like in the story.

What a lovely blend of literacy and physical development – and a reminder that learning can be active, joyful, and full of wonder.
