Following the GetSet4PE scheme of learning, our Physical Education (PE) lessons for term 5 and 6 our focus will be on cricket and rounders (striking and fielding) and athletics.
PE lessons will be on Mondays and Wednesdays; children can wear their PE into school on both of these days.
Striking and Fielding
In this unit, pupils develop their understanding of the principles of striking and fielding games. They develop the skills of throwing and catching, tracking and retrieving a ball and striking a ball. They begin to self-manage small sided games. Pupils learn how to score points and play to the rules. Pupils will begin to think about how to use skills, strategies and tactics to outwit the opposition appropriate to the situation.
Athletics
In this unit, pupils will develop skills required in athletic activities such as running at different speeds, jumping and throwing. In all athletic based activities, pupils will engage in performing skills and measuring performance, competing to improve on their own score and against others. They are given opportunities to work collaboratively as well as independently. They learn how to improve by identifying areas of strength as well as areas to develop.
