Creating your Movement Zone

A Developmental Journey from Birth to Key Stage 1

Stop seeing the chaos and start seeing the capability. This session isn't just about burning off energy; it’s about the physical foundations of cognitive development. In this 90-minute session, we will explore how movement evolves from the first gross motor milestones of a baby into the high-level engineering, risk-assessment, and physical precision of a six-year-old.

This session will explicitly cover content for staff working in Babies, Toddlers, Pre-school, Reception, and Key Stage 1.

What we will cover:

• The Developmental Arc: How to support a clear, consistent journey from the floor-based play of infants to the complex, multi-level movements of KS1.

• The Power of Heavy Work: Integrating Loose Parts and "big" movement to satisfy the physical urge for lifting, hauling, and constructing on a large scale.
