Launch of Developing Daily for Primary Schools
Package offer for NEW Foundation Body Movements
Edited by Graham Dodd & Jeff Emmel, Developing Daily: Foundation Body Movements are the first books in a comprehensive series of units to be released for primary schools.
The best of the popular PEP Gym series have been updated and made available in three easy to follow manuals for Years 3, 4 and 5.
Foundation Body Movements provides a sound basis for further skills development across all aspects of daily life. Dominant Movement Patterns which include jumping and landing skills, rolling, balance whilst still or moving, travelling and use of body parts in a controlled way, are fundamental movement abilities required for work, sport and recreational activities.
This program provides a broad-based approach to the teaching of Foundation Body Movements in all children by promoting all-round physical development - muscular strength and endurance, joint flexibility, balance, coordination and good posture required for everyday living.

About the Developing Daily series
ACHPER believes it is time to re-kindle the concept of daily physical education in Australian primary schools.
Developing Daily is designed for Year 3, 4 and 5 students and is built around three key areas:
- Foundation Body Movements (10 lessons)
- Games Skills and Game Play (20 lessons)
- Music and Movement (10 lessons)
Developing Daily is based on a class having 4 lessons per week. This allows for 1 free day to further develop areas of interest, other school activities such as sports days and most importantly to contribute to broader health and well being outcomes derived from across curriculum studies. The lessons can be easily adapted across the curriculum to make the learning of numbers, letters, reading, writing, and many other topics in the classroom more active and fun!
The Developing Daily lesson outlines promote regular, moderate to vigorous physical activity as recommended by research and the Australian Government. Embedded in all of the lessons are carefully planned activities developed sequentially to improve the basic movement skills that research tells us are good for stimulating brain development and learning generally but also form the foundations for on-going skill learning for sports, recreational activities and dance.
Other titles in the series will be available late 2011- early 2012
