PE
2023-2024
We have been lucky enough to have a football training session from a SASP coach. The children learnt a lot of new skills including the importance of controlling the ball.
Spring Term - Gymnastic
During this unit we will be focusing on the cognitive cog. This cog emphasises our successes. Children will be continually thinking about and evaluating their progression. They will be recognising and commenting on skill develop from their peers, recognising the improvements of themselves and of others. The children have been using their knowledge and skills from previous PE activities to ensure they are working as a team and supporting each other. Today we focused on gymnastic shapes and fluidity between movements.
Dance
We have been focusing on our fundemental skills. We have explored balance and movements. We challenged ourselves to move in time to music adding a serious of standing and floor balances. We also added circlular, whole body, partner and fluid movements to create a dancing sequence. We demonstrated personal skills, showing how we are aware of our own abilities and what we can do to build upon our skills. We also built on the social cog explored last term.
Football
We have explored our dribbling skills. Children have been practicing their co-ordintion in order to carefully weave between cones, control ball movements, dribble, pass and shoot with increasing accuracy. We focused on the social cog, demonstrating how we can work successfully in pairs and as a team.

We have just started our new topic of football where we are applying the skills we learnt in our Real PE unit. We have some very talented footballers in the class who taught us some of their skills. The focus of the lesson was dribbling.
2021 - 2022
Spring Term
Dance
Spring 2
We started this topic exploring different music genres- we listened to rock, classical, jazz and reggae. We then explored these music genres by bouncing a ball in time to the beat of the music. We discussed what was different between each genres- the children had to slow down or speed up the amount of times the ball hit the ground. We then explored different dances- we looked at Irish dancing and the Haka. As our topic for this term was Stone Age, we needed to pick a dance that would be represent how a Stone Age person may have danced. The children then split off into groups to create their own Haka inspired dances.
