Laying the foundations for physical literacy

With Caroline Park

This course features a wide range of activities suitable for both specialist and non-specialist teachers of the early year age range.  It is based around laying the foundations for physical literacy using gymnastic type movements to build coordination and movement vocabulary.  These are then developed into games with the introduction of ball and implement skills.
