Following the GetSet4PE scheme of learning, our physical education (PE) lessons for term 1 and 2 are Fundamentals and Dance.
Fundamentals
In this unit pupils will explore the fundamental skills of balancing, running changing direction, jumping, hopping and skipping. They will explore these skills in isolation as well as in combination. Pupils will be given opportunities to identify areas of strength and areas for improvement. Pupils will work collaboratively with other, taking turns and sharing ideas.
The unit links to the following strand of the NC: master basic movements including running, jumping and throwing. Develop balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities.
Dance
Each dance unit covers four different themes, with three lessons of planning for each theme. Pupils will explore travelling actions, movement skills and balancing. They will understand why it is important to count to music and use this in their dances. Pupils will copy and repeat actions linking them together to make short dance phrases. Pupils will work individually and with a partner to create ideas in relation to the theme. Pupils will be given the opportunity to perform and also to provide feedback, beginning to use dance terminology to do so.
This unit links to the following strand of the NC: perform dances using simple movement patterns.
