This included a scavenger hunt to find a variety of different leaves found around the area and using the wheelbarrows to transport them to specific places. We liked the balance ropes and used our core strength to get from one side of the ropes to the other. We then used the rope swings to push from the tyres. We counted how many seconds we could do this for. Alongside these activities we used the instruments to do some water drumming from all the recent rainfall. Following on from this, we spent time in the outdoor area using the mazes and footpaths to re-enact the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt.’ We used the outdoor instruments to make the story even more exciting, what a fantastic morning we had! Well done Maple class! ### Maple Tree Gross Motor [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple1.png)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple1.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple2.png)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple2.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple3.png)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple3.png) [![](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple4.png)](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/gallery/maple-tree-gross-motor/Maple4.png) [ Apple Tree PE Blog](https://www.elip.org/blog/2023-09-26-08-37-09-apple-tree-pe-blog) [Autism Advanced Accreditation Specialist Award ](https://www.elip.org/blog/2023-10-13-08-57-51-autism-advanced-accreditation-specialist-award) ![Tor View School](https://files.schudio.com/tor-view-school/images/logo/TV_SVT_Logo_website_Footer_Logos.png) **Tor View School** Clod Lane Haslingden Lancashire BB4 6LR Tel: 01706 214640 ### Useful Links - [Educational Excellence](https://torview.org/educational-excellence/welcome) - [The Sea View Trust](http://theseaviewtrust.co.uk/welcome) - [Valley College](https://www.valleycollege.co.uk/) - [Embrace TSH](https://embracetsh.co.uk/) **The Sea View Trust (Reg in England and Wales)** Trust Central Team The Sea View Trust Ewood Campus, Clod Lane Rossendale, BB4 6LR © Copyright 2020–2026 Tor View School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.elip.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
