Words to know
- fundamental movement skills
- the basic building blocks for more complex skills such as running, jumping, throwing and catching

Common mistakes
fundamental movement skills (FMS) are only needed at primary school.
FMS underpin good movement in any activity and in wider life, so it is essential that we continue to practise and hone these basic movements.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Be careful if hoops for learning cycle one are not flat as they can slip when landed on. Reference primary schemes for prior work on fundamental movement skill development.
