Physical Development Case Studies
Physical Development Case Studies
1. Toddlers 2-3 years
To Encourage Fine Motor skills I would carry out an egg decorating lesson using arts and crafts materials to encourage cutting and sticking and drawing to develop their pencil control and developing their grip and holding techniques.
The early years outcomes that this follows are:
Physical Development: Moving and handling: 22-36 months:
Shows control in holding and using jugs to pour, hammers, books and mark making tools.
May beginning to show preference for dominant hand.
Beginning to use three fingers (tripod grip) to hold writing tools
For children with physical disabilities and may be in a wheelchair all materials must be easily in reach, tables must be low enough for all children to reach and there must be enough room to navigate around the tables within the classroom.
If a child has a visual impairment then materials of varying texture would make the activity more enjoyable for them and a key worker will be available to provide additional support where required.
If a child has a hearing impairment the then showing the pupil a demonstration on how they could possibly decorate their egg may be helpful all instructions will be communicated clearly to the pupil either by sign language or drawn pictures.
To encourage Gross Motor skills the children will take part in an egg and spoon race once their egg is complete with decoration. This will provide exercise and will encourage children to work on their coordination skills and their running technique.
The Early years outcomes that this follows are:
Physical Development: Moving and Handling: 22-36 months
Runs safely on whole foot
Adapt for special needs
If children have a physical disability and are in a wheelchair the ground must be safe for wheelchair use and there will be somebody on hand to help them pick up the egg if dropped.
If a child has a hearing impairment the hand signals or a flag being waved will be used to begin the race as well as shouted
