PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical Education is allocated 1 hour per week of overall teaching time.
In November, the Active School Committee checked, and confirmed, that every class has 60 minutes PE time in their timetable.
P.E. School Plan
The school engages with the six strands of the P.E. curriculum each year. The six strands are: Games, Dance, Gymnastics, Outdoor & Adventure, Aquatics and Athletics.
Land Paws
Land Paws is an educational resource that we use to teach about water safety. These lessons cover how to be safe around water in homes, farms, pool, beaches and waterways.
P.E. Equipment
We are lucky to have a well stocked P. E. store room. It is regularly tidied to make sure all the resources are easy to find.
Teaching P.E.
The P.E. curriculum provides a balanced range of activities for children. It contributes to children’s overall development by helping them to lead full, active and healthy lives.
'Move Well Move Often'
is a resource that we use when planning PE lessons. It focuses on the development of fundamental movement skills.
PSSI (Primary Schools’ Sports Initiative) also provide support materials to complement the PE curriculum.
Games form part of our P.E. programme.
Dance forms part of our P.E. programme.
Outdoor and Adventure
All teachers worked together to strengthen our delivery of the Outdoor and Adventure strand this year. During term three, children engaged in lessons based on PSSI, Move Well Move Often and PDST resources. Our Active School Walkway was regularly used for orienteering lessons.
P.E. Homework
Our pupils enjoyed receiving P.E. homework throughout the year. They completed lots of fun challenges to help keep active at home.
Athletics forms part of our P.E. programme.
Gymnastics forms part of our P.E. programme.
