At Chollerton, we have developed a physical education curriculum which provides the opportunity for progression of physical skills. We deliver the following areas of physical education;
Games
Gymnastics
Athletics
Dance
Outdoor and Adventurous Activities (KS2)
Swimming (Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4)
Balanceability
Through improvement of physical, cognitive, creative, health and fitness the children are given opportunities to become confident, healthy and an enthusiastic partaker in PE.
In Early Years Foundation Stage, focus is on development of fundamental movement skills, ensuring children become increasingly competent and confident. They access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others.
During Key Stage 1, children learn to achieve the following outcomes:
Master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities.
Participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending.
Perform dances using simple movement.
In Key Stage 2, pupils continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other, and they develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.
During Years 3 and 4, children learn to achieve the following outcomes:
- Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination.
- Play competitive games, modified where appropriate (for example; tag-rugby, cricket, football, hockey, rounders, basketball and tennis) and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending.
- Develop flexibility, strength, technique, control
- Perform dances using a range of movement patterns.
- Take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team.
At Chollerton, swimming and water safety is provided from Reception to Year 4 at Wentworth Leisure Centre on a weekly basis for half of the academic year. The children follow a specific programme as set by Swim England. Learn to Swim (FUNdamentals; 4 years to 8 years).
