Fundamental Movement Spectacular
Our Fundamental Movement Spectacular (FMS) is an awesome opportunity facilitated by our Activator team for year 1-2 tamariki to be exposed to fundamental movement skills in a fun and relaxed enviornment through the use of games and play.
These fundamental skills include:
• Physical movement skills,
• Knowledge & cognitive skills,
• Emotional & social skills
Sporting success can often be interpreted as high achievement. For the Selwyn Sports Trust, sporting success looks like ongoing participation in an active lifestyle! The basis of this sporting success is built through the teaching of fundamental movement skills in childhood through a developmentally appropriate approach.
