Foundation settings and those delivering the non-maintained curriculum

The training looks into physical development, as one of the five developmental pathways of the curriculum for funded non-maintained settings. It examines what it means to provide pedagogical opportunities for physical literacy in the curriculum and reflect on the opportunities that adults in early years setting and the setting's community can access to support children's own unique physical development and physical literacy

Topics include:
  • Neurophysiological development, physical development, and the curriculum
  • Why pedagogical opportunities for physical literacy matter in the curriculum
  • Motor development and progression
  • Movement patterns, movement fascinations, schemas, and spontaneous movement play indoors and outside and an examination of the observation and assessment of these
  • The importance of adult aspirations for children's movements
  • The importance in the development of practitioner confidence in providing for, spontaneous movement and play in the curriculum
  • A playful movement environment, 5-a-day movement experiences, and slow and sustained and down-regulating movement experiences
  • Active singing, storytelling, and creative play with materials.
