PE Plan

Intent

At Oake, Bradford and Nynehead Primary School, we believe that high quality PE lessons motivate our children, from Reception through to Year 6, to lead happy and healthy lives. We want the children to experience a wide range of activities that help them to develop their health, fitness and mental wellbeing. Through our PE curriculum, we want to inspire all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sort and other physically and mentally demanding activities. PE provides the children the opportunities to become physically and mentally confident in a way, which supports their health and their levels of fitness. Children are given the opportunities to compete in sport within their school setting or against other schools. This helps build character and it helps them to embed good citizenship values such as fairness and respect.

As our children move through Y5 and Y6 potential Sports leaders are identified. With support  and training from SASP 4 children will complete sports leader training. Weekly the sports leaders organise a variety of activities at lunch time to encourage all of the children to take part in an active playtime. They also help to run our SPorts Day in the summer term.

Physical Education is a very important part of our lives and daily activity is vital for our health and wellbeing. Physical activities are important to embrace early in childhood as they help to promote healthy growth and development. PE helps build a healthier body composition with stronger bones and muscles. It also improves children's cardiovascular fitness. Children who have higher levels of physical activity during their childhood are more likely to be more active when they are older.

The National Curriculum for Physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:

▪ develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities

▪ are physically active for sustained periods of time

▪ engage in competitive sports and activities

▪ lead healthy and active lives

Teaching and learning about Physical Education also helps children to communicate, to work as a team, to deal with winning and losing, perseverance, how to deal with their emotions and making mistakes, to build confidence and social skills.

Implementation

In all classes we try to cover as many curriculum topics as we can as well as offering some enrichment to give the children a wide variety of new sporting opportunities and to keep them engaged in physical activity.

EYFS, YEARS 1 & 2

 Our first curriculum topic is always multi-skills, working on the fundamentals of movement looking at agility, balance and co-ordination before applying this to specific sports.

 We then move onto the topics of Gymnastics and Dance to help the children develop creativity and control in large and small movements. To build their confidence and strength and how to negotiate space indoors and around equipment safely.

 We then look at the specific sport topics like striking and fielding and sports day events where the children must communicate, select and prepare appropriate resources, play and use a range of skills cooperatively, taking it in turns and working together and dealing with competition.

YEARS 3-6

 For all these year groups we map out the national curriculum topics across 2 years to make sure everything is covered.

 PE will be developed through different topics each term: Invasion Games, Outdoor Ed, Dance, Gymnastics, Striking and Fielding, Net and Wall and Athletics.

 Children gain knowledge through playing and doing and the use of pictures, PowerPoints and videos helps their learning and the acquisition of wider skills.

 The children will work within different pairs and teams throughout the year.

 Dance themes will link to the topics in class and PowerPoints and fact sheets are used in dance to cross-curricular link as much as possible

 We are hoping to develop Intra-sport competitions are held termly so the children can compete in their house groups.

 When possible, we offer an enrichment block of different sports for the children to try something new, taekwondo, fencing and archery have been taught recently.

Extra-curricular activities and sporting events We provide extra-curricular sporting activities for pupils 3 nights of the week to enhance their learning and skills within that sport. The school provide a total of after school clubs a week too. Also, we are involved in the whole SASP programme which means teams are entered to go and compete in different sports against different schools throughout the year.

Impact

We measure impact on the children of being able to be physically active for sustained periods by using the our 2 minute skipping from skip2bfit. This is carried out at least once half termly throughout the year. Measuring impact on competence is done by looking at the assessment of pupils’ development of skills and knowledge throughout each unit of the curriculum. Children learn the reasons behind the importance of leading active lives within their lessons. Competition is added into lessons as much as possible and at end of each term an intra-sport competition is held for all classes to ensure that all the children are engaged in competitive sports and the results are always announced to the children. We have also held 2 netball inter-sports netball matches with Milverton Community Primary School last academic year.
