The curriculum in Years 3 and 4 builds on previous learning in movement to help pupils develop greater proficiency across the range of fundamental movement skills. Pupils combine movements to create more complicated movement patterns and sequences. Through participation in a variety of physical activities, pupils further develop their knowledge about movement and how the body moves. They do this as they explore the features of activities that meet their needs and interests and learn about the benefits of regular physical activity.
