Blue ones and red;He did a hundred happy things –
And then went to bed.(from ‘Forgotten’ in Now We Are Six, Milne, 1927, p.98)

PLAY THEORIES - CONSTRUCTIVISM
Vygotsky (1896 – 1934) The Zone of Proximal Development
Someone more skilled can support child physical achievement
(Pound and Hughes,2008: 40)
Piaget (1896 – 1980) Cognitive Theory of Play
Children need active play to construct their knowledge(Waite-Stupiansky,1997: x)
Bruner (1915 - ) Theory of Child Intellectual Development
Children learn through actions on physical objects (lifecircles-inc.com, undated)
“Play provides a relaxed atmosphere in which learning can easily occur” (uwgb.edu, undated)
INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES
Reggio Emilia Te Whāriki
“The Reggio approach values the learning of the child who expresses himself through... Physical play”
(Thornton and Brunton, 2010: 91)
Woven into the mat – the requirement for children to develop “growing control of body and physical co-ordination”
(Ministry of Education, 1996: 21)
PLAY AND EYFS“Play is now seen as a major learning
tool and increasingly practitioners are asked to look for ways of
delivering the curriculum outcomes through play”
(Tassoni and Hucker, 2005: v)
Early Years Foundation Stage (2008)
THE EYFS AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITYChildren “must be supported in
developing an understanding of the importance of physical activity” (DCSF, 2008: 15)

THE FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS PROGRAMME - FRAMEWORK
FMS are important in the development of the ‘whole child’ FMS is best supported when the school, family and
community work together FMS can be embedded in everyday classroom activities FMS can be learned though play Movement skill development is age related and not age
dependent Early childhood is the optimal time to teach and learn FMS
“Supports early years practitioners to design learning and teaching programmes that incorporate the development of children’s fundamental movement skills” (Hands et al., 2004: 1)
THE SKILLS CHILDREN ACHIEVE WITH FMS
Balance Walk Climb Roll Run Hop Jump Skip Gallop Catch Throw Kick Strike
ADULTS LEARN THROUGH PLAY TOO!
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
20 sports the Government and its’ agencies have
determined to be ‘Priority Sports’ in the UK.

PHYSICAL CAPITAL “developing a range of basic skills
permits a child to interact appropriately with their physical environment”Marsden and Weston (2007: 393)
“physical capital plays a significant part in promoting self-confidence and positive self-esteem” Whitehead (2005: 12)
