What is PAAP?
Itโs been a while since we did a breakdown of our pack, and what you get if you invest in one of our Physical Activity Adventure Packs.
โญ๏ธ PAAP is a developmentally appropriate physical development scheme of work for EYFS (Reception).
๐คฒ Children collect as many pieces of the equipment as they can and see how many they can hold without dropping them .
This is a trickier game than first appears as itโs working on using all those muscles in the hands, as well as dexterity and balance โ๏ธ .
Give it a go! ๐
๐ป Itโs Halloween and hereโs a (not) spooooky idea for an activity.
Scatter a variety of balls, beanbags and scarves around the space.
Children travel around ๐โโ๏ธ.
Adult shakes a tambourine or a shaker ๐ช.
These are key ways you can help your children develop physically.
It also gives the learning a purpose โ
.
Try getting more stuck in. PAAP can help!
๐ www.musicandmovement.org.uk/paap-physica...
How often do you get involved in your lessons ๐ค?
Not simply teaching from the side, but fully immersed in the learning.
Getting stuck in demonstrates to your pupils how your body works. It models movement and shows enjoyment on your part ๐.

Imitating movements such as peeling bananas, pouring drinks and opening packets are great for developing motor skills in little ones.
๐ฃ๏ธ Pretending to share and turn taking during conversations in play also develop those important PSED and communication skills.

Itโs incredibly pleasing to see movement, physical activity and play highlighted in the document ๐๐ผ.
๐ธ enables children to learn and practise what they need and to build on what they already know.
๐น includes explicit modelling and teaching of fundamental movement skills.
๐ธ provides activities that deepen and extend childrenโs capabilities.

Whilst there is obviously guidance around all aspects of an inspection, there is also a focus on physical development within the document:
๐น identifies small steps that, when taught and practised purposefully, lead to proficiency in a physical skill.

The new Education Inspection Framework from Ofsted was released yesterday.
The framework applies to inspections of different early years, education and skills settings, and includes the principles of inspection and the standards they use to inspect providers.
๐ฆถ๐ฝcrawling though objects - develops spatial awareness, balance and provides propriocetive input.
๐ spinning with coloured scarves - stimulates the vestibular system, works on core strength and postural control.
