High School Kung Fu – ELGs

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?
