About the event
Embedding Physical Development
Physical development is one of the Prime Areas in the EYFS, it is important to remember that physical development is not only promoted during outdoor play, but during the entire day there are ample opportunities to promote physical development, often linked to children's developing independence.
•We will examine why physical development has been given such priority.
•We will undertake an audit of how many physical activity opportunities children in your class have in a day.
•We will identify simple changes that you can make to your routines and environment to maximise opportunities.
•We will finish with a short session looking at some adult led activities for 'playtime' that promote physical development.
