PE and Sport

Physical activity is an important aspect of children’s development as it’s the key to all movements through life. At Field House we want to help children build positive relationships with physical activity that last their lifetime.

As a school we use Real PE as it fits our 'Aspire and Believe to Achieve' ethos by developing the whole child. Using Real PE we aim to develop children’s physical literacy through six over-arching strands (multi-abilities):

Physical
Social
Personal
Cognitive
Creative
Health & Wellbeing

Each multi-ability is constructed to overlap with the others ensuring all cogs are spinning at once and therefore enabling children to have a ‘can do’ attitude towards PE. Within this structure, children will develop resilience, confidence and independence whilst discovering how to lead physically and mentally, healthy and active lifestyles. This scheme also shifts responsibility of learning, through highly developed learning nutrients, towards the children, helping them become habitually independent learners. We want children to learn this as a behaviour and attitude and allow them to take pride in their own individual achievements.

While instilling this positive attitude we also want to ensure children leave our school with some key fundamental skills:

Balance
Co-ordination
Agility
Throwing and catching
Running and jumping

The progression summary below shows you how the children will develop their physical and mental skills, knowledge and understanding across the year groups.

	Climb apparatus Explore different ways to travel Throw, kick and catch a ball Pedal a trike Develop finger grip and wrist strength to control mark making tools Express themselves through movement Learn a repertoire of dances
	Initiate new combinations of movement & gesture Move confidently in a range of ways Represent own ideas through dance Show good control and balance when using balance bikes Negotiate space, change direction and speed Jump and land appropriately Travel with confidence (under, over, through) Develop control when pushing, patting, throwing & kicking Show good control & coordination in large/small movements
	Demonstrate good balance - static, seated and dynamic Counter balance with a partner Complete a sequence of footwork patterns Demonstrate co-ordination through dance Jump and land safely Run in a variety of ways Throw Catch Play team games Learn some simple tactics - attacking and defending
	Demonstrate good balance with control - static, seated and dynamic Counter balance with a partner Complete a sequence of footwork patterns Perform a sequence Demonstrate co-ordination through dance Demonstrate agility by linking movements Jump and land safely in a variety of ways Run in a variety of ways with confidence Throw with accuracy Catch confidently Play team games Learn and apply simple tactics - attacking and defending
