physical development
Physical development involves developing your child's gross (large body) motor movements and their fine motor movements.
dance of the day
At Stafford Leys the children in EYFS have a dance they do everyday. The dances we do link to key movements for the writing of letters when we do handwriting practice. Research suggests there is a strong link between your child's physical skills and their future academic achievement. We spend time focusing on your child's gross motor skills (large movements) and their fine motor skills (small movements).
Here is a video below that focuses on the 'up and down' movements that we have started with and then run through all of our other dances.

Our first dance incorporated 'up and down' movements to the song Up and Down by The Vengaboys (we do not have the video on the screen when we do our dance).
Our second dance is Pump up the Jam by Technotronic - this incorporates up and down and side to side movements.
Our third and current dance is Don't Blame it on the Boogie by Big Fun. This dance incorporates up and down, side to side and a wiggle movement.
Just pop on one of these tracks and I am sure your child will be able to demonstrate all of our moves!! Have fun!!

This Week...
Have a go at some of these space dances!
At Stafford Leys we are teaching PE through a scheme called GetSet 4 PE. The children in EYFS are really enjoying the imaginative, fun and story element that this scheme brings.
This week, we were learning all about our emotions and moving around obstacles in different ways to express different feelings and emotions. .
Dancing is a great way to feel happy. Have a go at this dance challenge.
