To end our first half term we held a Happy Healthy Kids Stay and Play Day focusing on how we can support our children with the development of their physical skills- both fine motor and gross motor.
We know the benefit of exercise and that children of 3-4 need to be active for 3 hours each day. Gross motor skills are crucial for everyday activities and to develop core strength in the body. Fine motor skills also develop core and shoulder strength to provide a stable base from which the arm and hand can move with control. We therefore enjoyed a range of indoor and outdoor activities encouraging movement. It was great to see so many parents and relatives getting involved and having fun with their child.
