EC3 during Music and Movement Class

EC3 during Music and Movement Class

EC3 students were engaged in different activities. They have been practicing basic fundamental movement skills, while they were developing understanding of our agreements and expectations in music and movement class.

What are Fundamental Movement Skills?

“FMS are movement patterns that involve different body parts such as the legs, arms, trunk, and head, and include such skills as running, hopping, catching, throwing and balancing. They are the foundation movements necessary for 3–8-year-old children as a precursor to the more specialized, complex skills used in play, games, sports, dance, gymnastics, outdoor education and physical recreation activities.”

EC3 students also have been learning song and responding to music with movement, like one little finger song (recognize body parts), Open Shut them and Hop Little Bunnies Song.

Responding to Music with Movement

These songs have help students explore different locomotor skills.

Some Fundamental Movement Skills practice :

• Balance
• Jump
• Locomotor Skills

Children will move on different pathways using different movement skills to gain 

a better control of their movements.
