Physical Literacy is so important for early years education as it impacts all Areas of Learning and Development in the EYFS, impacting a child's whole life. We explore what the term 'Physical Literacy' means, how adults need to be role models and use their creativity to deliver movement throughout the day, and how to use the available space. Gina explains how brain development is nurtured through the Myelin that movement creates.
