What is PAAP?

Itโ€™s 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).

๐Ÿคฒ 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 itโ€™s working on using all those muscles in the hands, as well as dexterity and balance โš–๏ธ .

Give it a go! ๐ŸŽƒ

๐Ÿ‘ป Itโ€™s Halloween and hereโ€™s a (not) spooooky idea for an activity.

Scatter a variety of balls, beanbags and scarves around the space.

Children travel around ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Adult shakes a tambourine or a shaker ๐Ÿช‡.

How often do you get involved in your lessons ๐Ÿค”?

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 ๐Ÿ˜€.

Imitating movements such as peeling bananas, pouring drinks and opening packets are great for developing motor skills in little ones.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ Pretending to share and turn taking during conversations in play also develop those important PSED and communication skills.

Thereโ€™s more to PD/PE than just sport.

Whilst there is obviously guidance around all aspects of an inspection, there is also a focus on physical development within the document:

๐Ÿ”น identifies small steps that, when taught and practised purposefully, lead to proficiency in a physical skill.
