More About This Unit
What do our EYFS Movement Development PE plans cover?
In EYFS Movement Development, children should improve speed, agility, balance, strength and coordination. Children should develop jumping/hopping and landing techniques, understanding the importance of moving, landing and stopping safely.
Our EYFS Movement Development lessons help children negotiate space, explore movements and try new activities.
Why are Movement Development lessons important for early years children?
Movement Development lessons play a fundamental role in early years and foundation PE. They give opportunities for children to demonstrate strength, balance and coordination and move energetically, running, jumping, and hopping and understand the importance for good health and physical exercise – all key aspects of the DfE guidance and early learning goals.
Primary School Movement Development is also great for building resilience, applying skills learnt, and working well with others.
