Physical Education
The PE curriculum:
Physical Education is required to be taught for 1 hour per week. The 6 strands are athletics, dance, games, gymnastics, outdoor and adventure and aquatics with water safety (Land Paws) being taught in the classroom.
PE Timetable:
As a school we take a whole school approach to PE.
PE is timetabled for 1 hour each week.
All classes are taught all strands each year.
This year we are working together to strengthen the delivery of the outdoor and adventure strand.
PE is included in end of year reports for students.
All teachers use the Move Well Move Often resources to aid in teaching of Fundamental Movement Skills in P.E.
The Active School Flag Programme has helped us to focus more on our provision of physical education in the school. Teachers use the PE curriculum, PSSI lesson plans and the Move Well, Move Often Resources in their planning for physical education lessons. Three of our teachers have completed ‘Move Well, Move Often’ inservice training days and have fed back information to the staff via staff meetings. The Active School flag is discussed at all staff meetings.
All classes are taught 5 different PE strands each year: Athletics, , Gymnastics, Games, Dance, Outdoor and Adventure, Aquatics*(Water Safety). The school plan reflects each of the strands of the curriculum and pupils receive 1 hour of Physical Education a week in the Halla and the school yard (weather permitting!).
Check out the pictures below that document the provision of PE across the strands of the curriculum!
