Information

Each Fun First Fitness session will get your child (aged 1-5yrs) moving! Designed to create healthly lifestyles from the very start, Bounce and Tumble will be a way for you and your child to experience the fun of physical activity. Whether learning to throw, jump, roll, dance or just run. FUN is the name of the game.

Fitness has been designed to run along side the play@home programme. Play @home is a programme for parents, promoting active play for children from birth to 5 years old. The programme was devised in New Zealand by Sport Waikito and adapted for use in Scotland, Argyll and Bute Council currently fund the programme for it's parents and children. Play@home is a series of three booklets for parents – more or less 'recipe books for play'. The books cover the stages for babies 0–12 months, toddlers 1–3 years and the pre-school stage 3–5 years. Each Fitness session will use elements of the play@home to help build parents confidence in trying these activities at home with their child.

As well as using elements of play@home, Fitness sessions will also incorporate the TOP programme. Designed for children from 18 months to 18 years, the TOP programmes give young people of all abilities the chance to make the most of the opportunities that PE and sport can bring. Our activity leaders have had training in Top Tots, Top Start and Top Play to help them develop activites suitable for a range of children.

The aim of Fitness is to advance the education and development of young children with an emphasis on using physical activity and play.

In doing so we seek :

• To promote enjoyment of physical activity and sport within families.
• To improve parents' confidence in creative activities with their children.
• To use physical activity to develop communication and language techniques,                co-ordination, cooperation and social skills.
• To develop basic movement and ball skills in children.
• To develop core physical and movement skills in children.
• To encourage and develop children's ability to use their imagination.
• To promote play@home.
