Physical Development

Our outdoor play areas are used effectively to encourage children?s physical development and there is free flow between the classrooms and outdoors all day and in all weather.

The use of a range of outdoor equipment such as a climbing frame and slides, bikes balls, tunnels and hoops etc help children to gain confidence and control in movement, at the same time being aware of the space and other people around them.  The children are encouraged to be active, interactive and improve their fine and gross motor skills, coordination, and to make safe and healthy choices and improve development.

The children also handle resources such as tools, objects, construction and malleable materials such as clay, play dough with increasing control.
