P5 and P6 developing their hand eye coordination in rounders with Mrs Adele
Over the last two weeks the teachers have been learning different sporting skills. We encourage all our students to develop their hand-eye coordination in many different ways.
Hand-eye coordination is an important part of daily life. It is a skill that helps people do basic activities such as writing, driving, putting a key in a lock or cooking.
Try playing games and catch: Playing catch may help improve hand-eye coordination as it requires the hands and eyes to work together to catch and throw a ball. Use different sized and shaped balls. Board games such as snakes and ladders and bingo help improve hand eye coordination too. Jigsaw puzzles are great for developing coordination and problem solving.
Also drawing, painting, threading and writing may help improve hand-eye coordination as it requires the hands and eyes to work together to move the pen or pencil across the paper.
Cooking, kneading, shaping biscuits and filling cupcake cases are a fun way to develop hand-eye coordination.
