PE at Bickershaw Church of England Primary School
Physical Education develops the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they can perform with increasing competence and confidence in a range of physical activities. These include dance, games, gymnastics, swimming and water safety, athletics and outdoor adventure activities.
Our PE curriculum will be underpinned by the drivers of possibility, initiative and heritage.
Heritage
e.g. Asking the children to take part in traditional dances.
Initiative
e.g. Develop the skills to work tactically and ability to adapt to suit a variety of games.
Possibility
e.g. By learning about athletes lives’ children will be inspired to compete at a higher level. They will also be driven to strive towards more active lifestyles.
Physical Education at Bickershaw promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills and promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. This should enable them to make informed choices about physical activity throughout their lives.
Impact
It is intended that children will be inspired to live active, healthy lifestyles, participating in different levels of competitive sports.
The children's PE skills and abilities will show progress over time.
Children will have developed a love of a range of sports and physical activities and will apply these skills across their lives.
The aims of PE are:
- to enable children to develop and explore physical skills with increasing control and co-ordination;
- to develop the children’s cooperation and communication skills by encouraging them to work and play with others in a range of group situations;
- to develop the way children perform skills and apply rules and conventions for different activities;
- to increase children’s ability to use what they have learnt to improve the quality and control of their performance;
- to teach children to recognise and describe how their bodies feel during exercise;
- to develop the children’s enjoyment of physical activity through creativity and imagination;
- to develop an understanding in children of how to succeed in a range of physical activities and how to evaluate their own success.
The Foundation Stage
Physical Development is a prime area in the EYFS. The objectives set out in the Early Learning Goals underpin the curriculum planning for children aged three to five years of age. The children are encouraged to develop confidence and control of the way they move, and the way they handle tools and equipment. Also to become independent in their self- care and develop an awareness of how to keep healthy. All children are given the opportunity to undertake activities that offer appropriate physical challenge, both indoors and outdoors, using a wide range of resources to support specific skills.
3.9 From this starting point, teachers will craft exciting long term, medium term and short term plans in order to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum, develop our underpinning drivers and promote SMSC and British Values.
