Before children can write, they need to move!
The new DfE Writing Framework (July 2025) highlights that handwriting begins with the body — from core strength and balance to fine motor control and precision.
Join this lively, hands-on workshop to explore how movement, play, and physical development build the foundations for confident, fluent writing.
You will learn how to:
• Understand the physical skills needed for writing
• Create environments and activities that strengthen bodies and fingers
• Plan effective interventions, including supporting children with tripod grip
Expect practical ideas, active learning, and plenty of inspiration to take back to your setting.
