Sinopsis

Getting the children in your care active through physical development, motor skills exercise and body movement is a central requirement of the EYFS.   Prime Time Physical is designed to provide early years professionals and students working with children aged 0-5 years with a meaningful and practical approach to ensuring that physical is central to children's health and wellbeing, learning and development.   Combining theory with best practice, this book will enable early years professionals to acquire vital knowledge of the importance of 'physical movement', its links with brain development, and the ways in which they can promote learning in everyday practice.   The book is divided into three main sections: What is Physical Development and why it is 'important' (Underpinning knowledge), The role of the adult; Get interactive! (Practical ideas). Practitioners will then be able to embed their expertise into their everyday practice.   The book includes a comprehensive 8-week physical development programme which provides engaging ideas on movement play, dance, games, play equipment, including focused activities for the under 2s, and how best to learn through a movement approach.   An audit is also included with opportunities for observation and assessment.

Críticas

This book is a timely addition to the growing body of literature in the early years physical development (PD) and activity field. With PD firmly established as a Prime Area and the plan for the early years curriculum to be amended to reflect the Chief Medical Officer early years physical activity guidelines (as stated in the recent Childhood Obesity Strategy) - Jo Blank has created an accessible and useful resource to encourage parents and practitioners to actively support children s overall physical development, health and well-being. There are two distinct parts. The first provides some answers to the why is movement so important to children question in terms of physical play, skill acquisition, dance and the curriculum. Clearly presented and well argued a range of activities is offered that illuminate and support each area. Part Two The 8-week development programme is the stronger in terms of content. Jo is a highly experienced teacher and trainer and her wealth of knowledge really shines through. Clearly constructed even if you decide not to follow the programme in its entirety there are many excellent ideas and suggestions for daily practice. The Audit section is particularly useful and will definitely provoke adults to look more closely at what children are actually up to and plan accordingly. I particularly like the reflective exercises that are included in each section. Whether you are drawn to a more dance-based, skills-based or a movement-for-learning based approach there is definitely something for everyone here. --Dr Lala Manners
