Case Study
At a popular school, set in the heart of a very busy town, the enthusiastic practitioners set up fantastic activities in the garden area to allow the children to run, climb and jump. The opportunities are essential as many of the children live in flats and tower blocks with no gardens of their own. The resources are carefully laid out to allow them to start at a simple level of climbing and jumping and then be able to progress when they feel confident to something more challenging. These activities are positively encouraged whenever they are outside. However, the staff have noticed that there is very little provision for physical activity inside, in both the nursery and in the main school.
- What can the practitioners do about this?
- Would the provision for physical activity be different in the nursery to in the school?
- How can the practitioners make sure they promote physical development through movement both indoors and outdoors?
It is rare that there is just one way to respond to a scenario or situation, so do not consider that the response you have chosen to this scenario will be judged as right or wrong. Share your scenario with a work colleague and ask them to tell you if they think you have responded appropriately. Ask them to challenge your response if necessary. You do not need to submit this task for assessment unless asked to do so by your tutor.
