Psychomotor

What is psychomotor?

Psychomotor, with their applications and exercises, is one of the major themes that work in kindergartens and refers to the ability of children to master and express themselves through different abilities of your body, according to the stage they are. Their proper development and stimulation are crucial for future performance. But it is often necessary to clarify some terms and their differences, as this will facilitate the understanding of the child's progress reports. Psychomotor is divided into two areas: the thin and thick.
The fine motor skills refers to all actions that the child performs primarily with their hands, through eye-hand coordination, etc.. Here is the painting, punching, gluing, tearing, use of tools, take things with the fingertips, get covered, basting, mixing, etc. Generally help detect shortcomings and physical conditions such as weakness in the fingers or osteoplasty (elastic bones). All these exercises are developed to table with different materials.
The gross motor skills refers to those actions with the whole body, coordinating travel and movement of different limbs, balance, and all the senses. Walk, run, roll, jump, spin, sports, body, and others are in this category. If you want to see, just watch the children at recess. That's gross motor skills of the purest out there!
While both are measurable and are considered in evaluations of early childhood education centers, fine requires more attention to your score, while the thicker it is easier to measure. But does not mean that everything we do is just fine or just thick. The vast majority of children's daily activities combine both areas simultaneously, resulting in what is called ability or motor skills.

fine motricity

 

Raising Confidence in Cursive Handwriting

Motricity aims to foster an enjoyment of simple pattern making in the air and on paper which then transfers to an enjoyment of the pattern making required in cursive handwriting.   Delivered as a 6 week module to children in Reception and year 1, Motricity develops the motor and co-ordination skills needed for cursive handwriting.  The three key skill strands of co-ordination, gross motor skills and fine motor skills are developed across the programme through a variety of activities, always set to music.

Motricity’s development has been influenced by ‘Une Question de Writing’ (patterning and PE on paper), ‘Writing in the Air’ (Kent County Council) and  ‘Write Dance’ (Ragnhild Oussoren).  The module has strong curriculum links to the Foundation Stage Profile.

To support the embedding of Motricity practice within a school, we encourage schools to nominate a TA to learn alongside the children so that the skills and activities can be rolled out to support any other groups within the school & future cohorts.

Gross motor skills

We work in order to help develop their sensory skills, symbolic play, imagination and creativity, that we do through a program of psychomotor sessions, both in fine motor (hand-eye coordination) and psychomotor thick (psychomotor other systems of the human body).
Exercises include coordination, balance, tone, postural control, stimulation, relaxation, imagery, etc.

 is important to develop the skills and empower children through the starting motor skills through his body and then the area in order to get the books.
