PE:
Physical Education will be taught by specialist teachers every Friday. The will be encouraging the children to 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. Children will participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending. Children will perform dances using simple movement patterns.
We will develop overall body strength, co-ordination, balance, and agility to support lessons in dance, gymnastics and sport. We will develop their fine motor skills to use a range of tools safely and confidently. We will develop a good posture when sitting at a table (classroom and dinner times).
