Every Child a Mover: supporting young children’s physical development through provision outdoors
Monday 2 November
TBC, Sheffield
Event Details
Young children have strong inner drives to move, constantly showing us their need for and pleasure in movement. Amid national concerns for children’s physical health, changes in the recent review of the EYFS have placed physical development as a ‘prime’ area of learning and development, recognising the crucial significance of movement and physicality for children from birth onwards. Jan will inspire and support practitioners to develop outdoor environments that strongly promote physical development and encourage active, movement-based learning by:
Exploring why physical development is so important to children’s lives and why has it has become a Prime Area;
Exploring how control, coordination and confidence in movement actually come about;
Considering how to create a stimulating, active and movement-rich outdoor environment that provides children with the developmental opportunities they need.
Cost:
Members £170, or with early bird discount (until 21 September 2015) £140
Non-members £215, or with early bird discount (until 21 September 2015) £185
