Description
What will I learn?Children’s physical development is critical to their success through life. That is why it has a high importance in the early years learning frameworks across all nations of the UK.However, according to latest NHS statistics, over a fifth of children enter reception obese. Less than 10% of children are meeting physical activity guidelines, according to the British Heart Foundation.Children’s physical development is not defined by their age but by their opportunity to acquire skills and control. Young children need to be given lots of opportunities to practice and refine physical skills through being active.
