Prime Area: Physical Development

We  provide opportunities for our children to be active and interactive, to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement, both gross and fine motor. We help our children to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices in relation to food.

Physical Development Early Learning Goal:

-Gross Motor Skills Children at the expected level of development will: - Negotiate space and obstacles safely, with consideration for themselves and others; - Demonstrate strength, balance and coordination when playing; - Move energetically, such as running, jumping, dancing, hopping, skipping and climbing.

-Fine Motor Skills Children at the expected level of development will: - Hold a pencil effectively in preparation for fluent writing – using the tripod grip in almost all cases; - Use a range of small tools, including scissors, paint brushes and cutlery; - Begin to show accuracy and care when drawing.
