Yesterday I had the challenge of running an exercise group for yr1s i.e. 6yr olds. As it happened there were only 2 people in the group which meant i was able to control it a bit more but i did struggle to keep them on task at times. Their main areas of weakness were decreased muscle strength, poor ball skills and poor motor planning so I designed a 1 hr program based around these.
I think that I chose age appropriate exercise that also provided a challenge and interacted well with the kids. However I can definitely improve for next week by working on strategies to maintain focus as at times they became easily distracted and started playing with other equipment and running all over the place. The other aspect which i will alter slight for next time is adding a bit of variety and fun to strengthening exercises such as sit ups. I have asked the physio for a few ideas and also have been recommended a book to read for some other suggestions. Overall I think the class ran well for my first attempt and it was very nice to recieve positive feedback from the parents and also the physio.

Nearly 1 in 5 breastfeeding women are affected by mastitis.Mastitis is usually the result of a blocked milk duct that hasn’t cleared, this causes inflammation. The symptoms include redness, breast pain, swelling and generalised ‘flu-like’ symptoms. A blocked duct can become mastitis within hours. If you can’t clear a blockage yourself within 12 hours, seek help
