Following the GetSet4PE scheme of learning, our Physical Education (PE) lessons for term 5 and 6 our focus will be on athletics, sending and receiving, striking and fielding (cricket and rounders), and team building.
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.
Sending and Receiving
In this unit, pupils will develop skills required for sports that include throwing, passing, kicking the ball and how to receive the ball ready to successfully continue to play on in a match of some sort. Children will look at how to be quick on their feet and a lot at their body language to ensure they are ready to receive a ball and ready to send it off to their team mate.
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.
Team Building
In this unit, pupils look at how to successfully build a rapport with team mates to ensure they get along and can complete a task successfully. Children will look at social skills as well as physical skills which will help them in a sports match.
