3 and 4 year olds: Physical Development
- I am continuing to develop a range of physical skills - balancing, riding and ball skills
- I can walk up steps and stairs and climbing equipment using alternate feet
- I can skip, hop, stand on one leg and hold a pose for a game like musical statues
- I can wave flags and streamers using large muscle movements and paint and make marks on a big scale
- I like to join in with group and team activities. Sometimes I like to make these up with my friends
- I am learning to use and remember sequences and patterns of movements which are related to music and rhythm
- I can think carefully about which movement I need to make, for example whether to crawl, walk or run across a plank, depending on its length and width
- I can choose the right tools for what I need to do
- I can work with my friends to move and carry large objects such as big wooden blocks
- I can use one handed tools such as scissors
- When holding pens and pencils I have a comfortable grip and good control
- I am showing whether I am left or right-handed
