Welcome to Walton Under Fives Pre-School

	Physical Development Stepping Stones
Understand that equipment and tools have to be used safely Demonstrate increasing control in the use of blocks and construction sets Construct with a range of materials and tools Show respect for others children’s personal space when playing among them Persevere in repeating some actions when developing a new skill Move in a range of ways Show an awareness of healthy practices

Constructional toys help to develop manipulative skills and provide opportunities for children to be creative working through their ideas and thoughts...it’s a road, no a track, a long sausage?	The children help to prepare snacks, they discuss with the adult about using tools safely. Children are often more keen to try new foods if they can help with the preparation of it...is that a finger I can see, oh no it is apple, phew!

Bike play we are very lucky to have lot’s of indoor and outdoor space. The children love this type of play, it encourages them to manage their body movements and be aware of the space around them.	Balancing beams encourage concentration and balance being able to slow down and concentrate on body movements. The children are collecting bean bags along the way...ready steady jump!
Developing new skills such as stenciling...steady does it!
