Although some areas of Physical Development can become philosophical enquiries, Physical Development is best covered by the methods used in an enquiry rather than the question itself. It is a great opportunity to get children moving and, in fact, having active moments in your session can go a long way to keeping all children involved and engaged.
Moving and Handling Early Learning Goals 1. Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. 2. Children move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. 3. They handle equipment and tools effectively, including pencils for writing. How to Utilise Enquiries Can children write or mark make their vote either on their own piece of paper or on a shared piece? Include some starter games that explore movement. Move like an animal or follow instructions to hop, stand on one leg, etc. Have some enquiries outdoors or in large spaces. Build an enquiry about voting for different things by running from one place to a choice of others. Encourage children to write or mark make as they vote or as they write their own ideas. Health and Self Care Early Learning Goals 1. Children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe. 2. They manage their own basic hygiene and person needs successfully, including dressing and going to the toilet independently. How to Utilise Enquiries Do we need to exercise? Why do we need to exercise? What is the best exercise? What makes it the ‘best’? Why is X better than Y? If you need to choose just one food to eat all week what would you choose? Why? We have a big pile of clothes. Choose the things you like and dress up. Try to get dressed by yourself. Why did you choose those things?
