• Negotiate space and obstacles safely, with consideration for themselves and others.
• Demonstrate strength, balance and coordination when playing.
• Move energetically, such as running, jumping, dancing, hopping, skipping and climbing.
• Hold a pencil effectively in preparation for fluent writing – using the tripod grip in almost all cases.
