| Module Description: |
Motor development refers to the development of a child’s bones and muscles, and their ability to move around and manipulate their environment. This module will be delivered through the lens of Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS), which are basic observable patterns of movement e.g. running, jumping, hopping, throwing, catching and striking among others. The pedagogical emphasis will be placed on the practical and theoretical aspects of planning, teaching and evaluating effective activity sessions to develop these FMS among children.
