Part 1: Physical Development

Physical development is one of the first developmental stages in children that entails the refinement and advancement of a child’s motor skills. Therefore, the instructors in the pre-school environment should create spaces for the children to carry out physical activities that are useful for developing the children's motor skills. Naturally, the children are always active, and the pre-school environment should offer the children with indoor and outdoor activities. This paper aims to explain how to design the school indoor and outdoor activities to promote children's physical development.

. Below is an illustration of how the indoor and outdoor environments will be designed.

Indoor and Outdoor Environments (Learning Works for Children, 2020).

The indoor activities comprise the activities that are done in the classroom. Therefore, this calls for the instructors to create a large class that accommodates the desks, teachers, tables, and a space for carrying out physical activities. The classroom organization should create distinct areas for desks used for studying. These physical activities involve the use of toys and blocks, as well as a space for a whiteboard with a medium height that can easily be accessed by the children. The toys and blocks are used by the children to build on their gross and fine motor skills as they push and pull the toys and the blocks. The whiteboards provided are used by the children to paint different shapes and colors using crayons. The activities of painting and pushing and pulling toys and the blocks will enhance the children's gross and fine motor activities and enhance physical development.

The school field is often used to carry out outdoor activities; in other words, it provides the outdoor space for pre-school children. The outdoor space will provide a variety of equipment used for sporting. Swings, ladders, climbing structures, bicycles, skipping ropes, and balls are some of the sporting equipment used in the physical development of the children's outdoor space. The outdoor space should also be designated in a way that guarantees the children safe play. Therefore, the areas should have smooth floors well-designated ladders and climbing structures such as poles. Activities like climbing, there needs to be a reference to an academic/professional resource to support the description throwing the ball, skipping over the ropes, and swinging enhance the children's physical development. It is also vital for the instructor to make the playing activities fun to encourage the children to participate and keep the learner focused in a classroom lesson. Instructors should be vigilant while transiting to a different activity; for instance, children can be told to jump while they are going out for a break from a lesson to make fun. 1.3 describe one schedule in a DAP classroom that supports physical development of all children; include an artifact with a source; there needs to be a reference to an academic/professional resource to support the description

Some of the activities carried out in school can be one by a small or large group. A small group typically does the painting of different shapes and colors by the children using crayons. Also, the skipping activity by the use of skipping ropes is another activity carried out by the learners in small groups. Large group activities include the identification of shapes and different colors in the classroom and singing and jumping in a circle. Fun made in transitions from one activity to another is suitable for supporting physical development in children as various activities are done in the classroom and not during the break. 1.4 include an artifact with a source; there needs to be a reference to an academic/professional resource to support the description

The inclusion of the children with special needs is also recognized as the activities carried out to enable the instructor to reach every child and identify their abilities and inabilities while providing remedies to cope with their incompetence. The activities carried out are suitable for the English learners if they fail to understand the language through the lesson they can learn by copying what the other kids do.

These English learners won’t be left out during studies (Walden University, n.d.).
