Sky and Anna are playing in the school yard. They are playing a game of high schools and it’s kung fu time.
Good for looking at
- Physical play
- Physical development
- Pretend play
- Co-operative play
- Socialising
- Communicating
- Imagination
In this clip we see Anna and Skye outside demonstrating a range of physical skills using the opportunities provided.
Notice
- the potential of the outside environment
- how achieving ‘Expected’ for Gross Motor Skills is about more than simply running, jumping, hopping etc.
Reflection
Refer back to the ELGs for Physical Development
- Anna and Skye are both achieving ‘Expected’ for Gross Motor Skills. How do we know this? Do you need to observe anything else?
- Equipment is not being used in conventional ways in this clip. Notice how the children are using their bodies
- Which other Early Learning Goals are being demonstrated here?
