In addition, students learn to work safely in group and individual movement settings. A major objective is to present activities that complement their natural inclination to view physical activity as challenging and enjoyable. (3) The focus for kindergarten students is on learning basic body control while moving in a variety of settings. Students become aware of strength, endurance and flexibility in different parts of their bodies and begin to learn ways to increase health-related fitness. (b) Knowledge and skills.
As they play the games on the LeapPad2, this strengthens the child’s hand to eye coordination as well as the child’s small muscles on their fingers, hands and wrists. 1. Which of Jean Piaget’s stages is this toy most appropriate for? Sensorimotor Preoperational X Concrete Operations X Formal Operations Explain why. The LeapPad2 is for children from ages 3 to 9.
Denisse M. Villalobos-Vega Professor Mark Schwartz English 101 5 December 2014 Toys Today and the Effect they have on Children As children grow up they learn new things along the way like how to crawl, walk, speak, communicate, express themselves in different ways, and resolve problems. Children learn these things through many ways, but playing is one of the important methods for developing. Playing covers a great part of a child’s development process. Also, it incites the child to learn because it is a fun and entertaining way of learning. In addition there are props such as toys that children can play with and manipulate.
This includes interacting both inside and outside with their peer and their teachers. Activities are planned that engage preschool children in games that involve running, walking, chase, tag, and follow the leader in which children need to be socially apt. The preschool children also have toys for catching and throwing such as soft, large balls, beanbags, and other objects both in and out of the classroom. Ensuring preschoolers are empowered through many self selected activities
P1 Give reasons why play is important for children and young people “‘We think that a purpose of the child is to grow up because it does grow up. But its purpose is to play, to enjoy itself, to be a child.’ Herzen A. cited in Young Children Learning, David, T.” (Page 25, 40231D, CACHE Level 2 Certificate in Children’s Care, Learning and Development) Play holds a great importance in a child’s life. Through play a child learns lots of different things from a very early age. Every time they play they learn something new in life, be it educational or social while having fun. They learn to explore and take risks in their life.
CYPCore31-1.1 Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth - 19 years. There are 5 main areas of development that are all very important from birth to 19 years old. They are: 1. Physical Development – this area of development is about learning how to master physical movements. It is subdivided into: fine motor skills (such as tying shoe laces) gross motor movements (such as throwing a ball) locomotive movements (such as balancing and walking) Physical development allows children to gain independence.
It helps children to have positive experiences and develop important abilities like Collaboration- being happy to work together Concentration- focusing on what they are doing Communication and language- developing good communication through talking, listening and writing Developing good relationships- working together and making new friends Imagination- bringing ideas to life Physical activity- participating in activities that encourage movement Problem solving- being able to explore different solutions Outcome 1.3 Critically analyse how creativity and creative learning can support young children’s emotional, social, intellectual, communication and physical development. The key characteristics in creativity can support children’s development in a different ways. Emotionally they learn how to manage anger if they
Interacting and playing with the child will teach them new emotions and help learn how to explore themselves and learn new things on their own. (MDE) Working with the baby to begin walking is important, starting at birth. This includes helping the child gain strong back muscles. Working with the baby from day one will increase the speed of development and keep the baby healthy. (MDE) Once the baby is four to six months old, the parents should start seeing growth in physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development.
As the new born grows into a young person he can take care of his or her own body and interact effectively with others. For these reasons, the primary developmental task of this stage is skill development. (Eamon, 2001) Physically, between the ages of three and five years, children continue to grow rapidly and begin to develop adequate motor skills. They began to master typical many skills like sitting, walking, and toilet training, using a spoon, scribbling and hand and eye coordination to catch and throw a ball. By age of five most children demonstrate fairly good control of pencils, crayons, and scissors.
In a babies second year a babies physical development will continue and develop quickly. They will start to develop fine motor skills such as being able to hold small objects, dressing and undressing and will also enjoy climbing. Most babies at this stage will be walking. In their third year when they are toddlers they will be running and walking with more confidence, enjoy looking at books and feeding themselves. Communication and Intellectual development starts from the moment a baby is born.
