Physical Development

I am learning to improve my: • rolling • crawling • walking • jumping • running • skipping • hopping • climbing
I can use a range of movements with ease.
I can respond quickly to changes of speed and direction.
I can move with increasing control and grace.
I have the body strength, coordination and balance to engage in future PE and physical disciplines like dancing, swimming and gymnastics.
I can use a range of tools such as pencils for drawing and writing, paintbrushes, scissors, knives, forks and spoons.
I have good posture when sitting at a table or sitting on the floor.
I am confident using a range of large and small equipment safely indoors and outdoors. • I am developing confidence, precision and accuracy in throwing, catching, kicking, passing, batting and aiming balls.
I am learning how to develop a handwriting style which is fast, accurate and efficient. At this stage, getting the process right (like ‘round-up-down’ when I write the letter ‘d’) is more important than how neat it looks.
I am learning special skills I need to manage my day at school successfully, e.g. lining up and queuing for my school dinner.
