Common appropriate physical environments for primary aged children include well-lit and spacious classrooms with age-appropriate furniture and learning materials. These environments should also have designated areas for different activities such as reading corners, art stations, and play areas. Outdoor spaces with playground equipment and open areas for physical activities are also important for children to engage in active play and exercise.

Inappropriate physical environments for primary aged children may include overcrowded classrooms with limited space for movement and activities. Cluttered and disorganized classrooms can also be inappropriate as they can be overwhelming and distracting for young children. Additionally, environments with inadequate safety measures, such as lack of supervision or poorly maintained playground equipment, can pose risks to children's well-being.

In summary, appropriate physical environments for primary aged children should be well-organized, safe, and conducive to learning and play, while inappropriate environments may lack these qualities and may hinder children's development and well-being.
