This session will provide the participants with the confidence, ideas and knowledge to help them implement physical educational games, activities and experiences within a range of children’s services.
The session:
- outlines and dissects the need for children to engage in physical education in an early learning setting and how we link back this to EYLF
- identifies how and when we can do this within our program
- explores equipment we use to conduct physical education experiences and the variations in which we utilise these
- demonstrates and workshops resources we can make to use in our own early learning setting.
