The foundation movements or precursor patterns to more specialised, complex skills in games, sports, dance, gymnastics and physical recreation activities. They provide the foundation for human movement and competent and confident participation in a range of physical activities. The fundamental movement skills to be developed through Health and Physical Education include:

• locomotor and non-locomotor skills – rolling, balancing, sliding, jogging, running, leaping, jumping, hopping, dodging, galloping, skipping, floating and moving the body through water to safety
• object control skills – bouncing, throwing, catching, kicking, striking.

This program easily satisfies in achieving many outcomes from the Australian Curriculum it also goes above and beyond the expected fundamental movement skills required by the Australian Curriculum at this age. (see below). This is due to the combination of Occupational Therapy and Physical Education practices placed in combination.
