Physical Development

Physical activity is vital in children’s all-round development, enabling them to pursue happy, healthy and active lives.  At Newick we provide and create opportunities for play both indoors and outdoors, adults can support children to develop their core strength, stability, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination and agility. Gross motor skills provide the foundation for developing healthy bodies and social and emotional well-being. Fine motor control and precision helps with hand-eye co-ordination, which is later linked to early literacy.
