1. Gross motor movement

Build secure EYFS understanding of gross motor movement in Physical development.

A common misconception is treating gross motor movement in Physical development as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Core vocabulary for gross motor movement Extension: Extend toward fine motor control once gross motor movement is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising gross motor movement.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch gross motor movement into independent, synoptic or real-world Physical development work.

Representative problem: Show gross motor movement through a picture, object, story, movement or conversation.

Mastery signal: Explains gross motor movement in their own words

2. Fine motor control

Build secure EYFS understanding of fine motor control in Physical development.

A common misconception is treating fine motor control in Physical development as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit gross motor movement Extension: Extend toward using tools safely once fine motor control is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising fine motor control.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch fine motor control into independent, synoptic or real-world Physical development work.

Representative problem: Show fine motor control through a picture, object, story, movement or conversation.

3. Using tools safely

Build secure EYFS understanding of using tools safely in Physical development.

A common misconception is treating using tools safely in Physical development as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit fine motor control Extension: Extend toward balance and coordination once using tools safely is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising using tools safely.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch using tools safely into independent, synoptic or real-world Physical development work.

Representative problem: Show using tools safely through a picture, object, story, movement or conversation.

4. Balance and coordination

Build secure EYFS understanding of balance and coordination in Physical development.

A common misconception is treating balance and coordination in Physical development as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit using tools safely Extension: Extend toward healthy bodies once balance and coordination is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising balance and coordination.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch balance and coordination into independent, synoptic or real-world Physical development work.

Representative problem: Show balance and coordination through a picture, object, story, movement or conversation.

5. Healthy bodies

Build secure EYFS understanding of healthy bodies in Physical development.

A common misconception is treating healthy bodies in Physical development as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit balance and coordination Extension: Extend toward spatial awareness once healthy bodies is transferable.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising healthy bodies.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch healthy bodies into independent, synoptic or real-world Physical development work.

Representative problem: Show healthy bodies through a picture, object, story, movement or conversation.

6. Spatial awareness

Build secure EYFS understanding of spatial awareness in Physical development.

A common misconception is treating spatial awareness in Physical development as a memorised label instead of a usable idea with evidence.

Validation: Generated starter-map content for MVP breadth. It is structurally complete but still requires subject-expert review before production claims.

Starter concept map Pending expert review Prerequisite: Secure or revisit healthy bodies Extension: Extend spatial awareness into richer play, conversation and early symbolic representation.

Stage progression

Repair foundation: First-stage foundation - Use concrete observation, talk and play evidence before formalising spatial awareness.

Later outcome: Advanced independent use - Stretch spatial awareness into independent, synoptic or real-world Physical development work.

Representative problem: Show spatial awareness through a picture, object, story, movement or conversation.
