Children are physically active and can grow and develop in a healthy way.

Being active means things like…

• exploring the world around them
• playing at home
• playing outdoors – things like sports, cycling, walking or going to the park
• doing fun things as a family
• doing things a child enjoys and encouraging them to try new things

• children learn through different sorts of play – water, puzzles, games
• children learn to take turns and share by playing with friends
• children get praise
