Children use fine motor skills to do so many school related tasks including holding a pencil, writing neatly, drawing, using scissors, zipping their coat, tying their school-laces and the list goes on. This webinar will explore the importance of fine motor skills in the classroom, how to identify difficulties and fun ways of supporting their development for primary school-aged kids. Jess will also be discussing how to design creative, fun and effective fine motor stations for the classroom. This webinar will be full of practical tips and activity demonstrations that can be used with larger and smaller groups of children.
