We selected the tests from the DMT and MOBAK test battery - 10 m run, long jump from a standing position, depth of forward bend, and target throw. In addition, scaling was used to assess the ball throwing technique. The last method used was participant observation during the implementation of the movement program. Results: The movement program focused on athletic skills was divided into 10 sessions of 45 minutes each and each session included 4 parts: busy, preparatory, main and final. The effectiveness of the program was verified by a selected test battery. Significant improvement was observed in the long jump test from the spot and in the 10 m run.

Perception of death in preschool children
HNOJSKÁ, Michaela
My bachelor´s thesis focuses on the issue of children´a perception of death in preschool age. Specifically, it explores how children cope with death of their father and the support they received within the family. The theoretical part addresses loss within the family, delving deeper into the perception of death. It also the specifics of children´s grieving and the possibilities of supporing children going through grief. Additionally it briefly discusses the topis of death in children´s books. The practical part is a research probe mapping how six children met and coped with the death of their father in preschool age. It represents how mothers and children have communicated and how much their lives have changed since this event. It turned out that the manner of death played a role in the settlement; children whose fathers were dying of a serious illness witnessed a gradual deterioration in their physical condition and accepted death as a kind of natural outcome. On the contrary, in children whose father died a violent death (suicide and murder), they reacted more strongly. In one case, where the mother kept her daughter a secret during the time of her father's death, a more difficult grieving is evident. In the monitored families, the established order of the day is observed and the children remember their father with a watch or looking at their joint photos. They sometimes use children's literature to communicate - Lentilka for Grandpa Eda, Špunťa and me or a stuffed animal who is the mediator of these conversations. In some cases, children have developed certain rituals that help them overcome the absence of their father.

Outdoor learning in relation to environmental education in kindergarten.
ŠŤASTNÁ, Michaela
The methodology of the thesis was to use a quantitative method using a questionnaire to find out the view of a parent of a preschool child on the importance of being in nature in the context of environmental education. In particular, how much free time the preschool child spends in nature and in what manner this time is used. The theoretical section includes chapters focused on 'Environmental Education', 'The Benefits of Being in the Outdoors for the Development of the Preschool Child's Environmental Sense' and 'The Family and its Importance for Environmental Education.' The results of the research investigation showed that for parents of a preschool child, being out-doors is important not only in terms of strengthening physical health and mental resilience, but also in terms of strengthening the child's overall personality. Within the time constraints between work and kid's activities, the parent's aims were to ensure that the child was in a natural environment for at least 27 minutes a day. Due to the kindergarten's outdoor education being outside, the parents fed back that the teacher's intervention with the children was more positively impactful. Using a different natural environment beyond that of the kindergarten garden would also be preferred to increase the scope of outdoor educational activities.
