Gross Motor Skills Development
| | Hits: 8
Gross motor skills are defined as the movements of the large muscles of the body. Gross motor development is often better than fine motor development in boys. Overall, gross motor development is in keeping with cognitive level.
Baking

All class work on the same activities, so it is very easy for the younger children and more hands on for the older children. The baking themes are an extension of each months teaching theme.
Arts & Crafts

Before all other types of stimuli, children respond visually to the world around them. Art teaches children to discriminate and become spatially aware. They are able to express themselves visually before verbal or written communication.
Ball Skills
| | Hits: 7
Current research has proved that children are sorely lacking in their gross motor development as is evidenced by the large numbers of children being referred for occupational therapy.
Drumming

Drumming becomes the tool to facilitate other developmental activities such as active play, story telling, visual and aural stimulation, language and reading, life skills, social interaction and numeracy. Learning therefore becomes a fun experience!

When it comes to play materials, children don't mind getting messy or wet. That's why water play is both enjoyable and educational and perfect for hot days that call for cooling off.

Swimming
| | Hits: 10
A 'water safe' child is one who can swim, chooses to enter a water environment in which they are consciously aware that they will be able to manage themselves without fear of danger or being hurt.
One who can swim by choice on top of the water with their faces in the water, swim under the water and swim with confidence on the back without assistance or aids of any kind. In brief a child who knows their limits and boundaries in and around water.
