Tracking Progress: The Kodomo Dojo Booklet

Students have a progress card that is their personal record of achievement. This is an essential part of the Kodomo Dojo experience, designed to make growth visible and rewarding.

How the progress card works:

Tracking Skills: As we focus on Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) and Perceptual Motor Skills, (PMS) we check them off in the booklet. 

Belts, tabs and grades: The grading card tracks attendance and specific milestones. When a student demonstrates consistency and safety in their techniques, they earn recognition that moves them toward their next level.

Goal Setting: The booklet helps students take ownership of their journey. It gives them a sense of pride as they watch their "record of skills" grow throughout the term.

Communication: It acts as a bridge between the Dojo and home, allowing parents to stay informed about the specific physical milestones your child is achieving through the sessions.  

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.
