Learning Outcomes:  Children have a strong sense of identity  Children are connected with and contribute to their world  Children have a strong sense of wellbeing  Children are confident and involved learners  Children are effective communicators. The VEYLDF identifies five Outcomes for young children from birth3 and extends these to include all Victorian children from birth to eight years: • Children have a strong sense of identity (identity) • Children are connected with and contribute to their world (community) • Children have a strong sense of wellbeing (wellbeing) • Children are confident and involved learners (learning) • Children are effective communicators (communication).

Being

Childhood is a period where children actively participate in the present, explore the world, comprehend its significance, and acknowledge the importance of current experiences

EYLF AND VEYLF

Children show a strong sense of identity, establish connections with and contribute to their world, maintain a robust sense of well-being, engage confidently as learners, and reveal proficiency as effective communicators.

The EYLF outlines that children's learning is a continuous process, and each child advances toward desired outcomes in unique and equally significant ways. Learning is not consistently foreseeable or linear, prompting educators to plan with individual children and the desired outcomes in consideration.

development milestone

Gross motor skill development

Gross motor skills involve large muscle groups and coordination. Activities like Simon says, dancing, obstacle courses and relay races contribute to children's development. Educators should encourage a variety of movements to support gross motor skill development. (Preschoolers: Physical Development)

fine motor skill development

As children become mobile, they acquire various perceptual motor skills. These perceptual motor skills involve body awareness, spatial awareness, directional awareness, and temporal awareness. (Perceptual Motor Skills, 2023)

Children's movement skills and well being

Social skills, emotional skills, cognitive skills, Physical skills, language skills.

My opinion as an educator (Own experience and views)

As my own experience i remember my dad always play cricket and football with me and my brother so my opinion is parents, educator and caregiver should encourahe children for physical movement.

Things that encourage children movement

Parents and educator should create an enviroment that inspire children movement. Example like outdoor play, dancing and sports together.
