Your Question?
Hi,

Just trying to finalize my assessment and im abit stuck on the developmental links. it wants us to link gross motor and physical activity.
I created an obstacle course for my focus child which included a little rock climbing area, a slide and balance beams.


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I just wrote down the list of gross motor skills that they do. i.e. running, jumping, walking, climbing, etc

Description and Message:
Im not sure if I am meant to go in more detail with linking or am I meant to just list the skills the child is doing?

I think you're on the right track on writing down a list of gross motor skills children will acheive through your experience.

If you need any more you can have a look at Gross Motor Development, in our Wiki, in Child Development.

Hope this helps,
