• Choose the right one-handed tool for a job, like scissors, spoons and paintbrushes.
• Name and copy ways of moving (hop, balance, slither, stretch) and choose safe ways to move around others.
• Choose and use small tools — scissors, paintbrushes and cutlery — safely and for the right job.

How BrightWorld helps with moving and using tools

Children practise moving and using tools at Easy, Medium or Hard, in mixed quizzes, in the Answer Run game and inside story missions. If they get stuck, they get a hint and a worked example; if they’re flying, the questions get harder. Parents see how they’re doing in the parent area.
