Intent

Our intent is for our children to become active and interactive, to develop their coordination, control and movement and to understand the need to make healthy lifestyle choices.

Implementation

We provide children with access to a range of active learning opportunities, that help to develop both their gross and fine motor skills. Children follow the Squiggle writing programme, helping to develop children’s gross motor skills through a range of media. Pupils follow the whole school Real PE curriculum for EYFS and participate in weekly discrete PE sessions. Children take regular finger gym activities to help strengthen our fingers. Staff provide opportunities for children to practise their skills using large play equipment.

Impact

We monitor the progress of our children through regular, ongoing observations and assessments. We use the Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage and Development Matters to plan our progressive curriculum, across our EYFS, in order ensure that our children are making good progress. We also moderate both within school and externally as a LAT to ensure that our judgements are accurate.
