Supporting gross motor skills

Date: 29th Sep 2026 @ 1:26pm

In EYFS we support children to develop their gross motor skills to ensure they have the core strength ready to take part in physical activities and become confident to start drawing and writing. Today, we have enjoyed having tyre races, 3 children at a time got the chance to roll the tyres during the race. The children found the activity fun and they were keen to keep having a go! 

Please support your child's gross motor skills at home through activities such as dancing, climbing and activites that involve pushing/pulling.
