PHE
Physical and Health Education

Only one more week to go for this last unit before we finish this academic year with some challenges and team-building activities. The learners have been working extremely hard and have made great progress this year. They have shared their feedback about their thoughts and feelings about PHE lessons and it has been pleasing to see comments such as;

“even though Life Saving was a bit tricky, I liked learning new skills”

“getting to play Volleyball and Badminton during the Ace in the Face unit was my favourite”

“I liked the doing the Gymnastics unit the best even though my group made a few mistakes in our final performance”

“Learning how to use the equipment in the Fitness Suite was really good”

“This is the first time I have played Hockey on grass, please can we play it more often?”
