DfES Early Learning Goals (2017)

Physical development

ELG 04 – Moving and handling:

Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. They handle equipment and tools effectively.

Children know the importance for good health of physical exercise, and a healthy diet, and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe.
