Webinar: Physical Development – Gross Motor Skills to PE With Helen Battelley

As early years educators, we are at the forefront of building strong physical foundations that support not just movement, but confidence, coordination, and a lifelong love of being active.

In this session, we’ll explore how early physical development naturally progresses into more structured physical education, supporting fundamental movement skills. We’ll look at key movement milestones, developmental readiness, and how to create purposeful movement transitions from play-based physical activity to more formal PE in the early years and beyond.

You’ll leave with practical strategies, activity ideas, and a deeper understanding of how to support every child’s movement journey—from crawling and climbing to catching and kicking.

Let’s jump in and get moving!
