Physical Activity

Daily physical activities are planned and provided to encourage children to be active by staff building on children's interests to encourage participation. Children have regular opportunities for physical activity both indoors and outdoors with activities such as trikes, climbing and slides, parachute games, action songs, music and dancing. Children are taught how to move and climb safely whilst using large apparatus and are also provided with a range of small objects such as beads for threading in order to develop fine motor skills.

Children are encouraged to look after their bodies, for example, hygiene, sun safety and resting after exercise, and staff meet regularly to promote and enhance outdoor play, activities and the natural environment and to ensure we are providing for each child's needs outdoors. This supports the Healthy Early Years philosophy.
