Tracking Progress: The Kodomo Dojo Booklet
Students move through a series of movement levels. This is an essential part of the Kodomo Dojo experience, designed to make growth visible and rewarding.
Tracking Skills: As we focus on Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) and Perceptual Motor Skills, (PMS) we check the skills and achievements off in a booklet.
Dojo Awards: As our students show their learning and skills, Dojo Awards are given to recognize the achievement.
Kodomo Dojo Programme
Perceptual Motor Skills (PMS) are the ability to combine sensory information (like sight, sound, touch) with physical movement, allowing you to interpret your environment and react appropriately, enabling everything from catching a ball and writing to navigating a room without bumping into things. These skills link the brain (perception) and body (motor skills) for coordinated action, involving body awareness, spatial understanding, direction (fast/slow, forward/back), and timing, vital for daily activities and learning.
Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) are the basic building blocks of physical activity, like running, jumping, throwing, and balancing, that form the foundation for more complex sports and lifelong fitness, categorized into locomotor (moving), stability (balancing), and object control (manipulating) skills. Developing these skills early helps children become more confident, physically literate, and active individuals.
