In this section you will notice that the activities are organises into three areas: Motor, Visual and Thinking. All the activities are designed for interaction and play so the children can explore, have a go and apply the knowledge they have learnt in Module 1: Learning the Cognitive Framework.
Module 2 : Motor Activities
