PE | |
We have PE every Wednesday (PE KITS WILL BE KEPT AT SCHOOL EVERY DAY). What will the children be learning:
• Revise and refine the fundamental movement skills they have already acquired: Rolling, crawling, walking, jumping, running, hopping, skipping and climbing
• Progress towards a more fluent style of moving, with developing control and grace.
• Develop their overall body strength, co-ordination, balance and agility needed to engage successfully with future physical education sessions and other physical disciplines including dance, gymnastics, sport.
• Develop their small motor skills so that they can use a range of tools competently, safely and confidently. Suggested tools: pencils for drawing and writing, paintbrushes, scissors, knives, forks and spoons.
• Use their core muscle strength to achieve a good posture when sitting at a table or sitting on the floor.
We will spend time learning how to get dressed and undressed for PE.
Please ensure your child has appropriate clothing; this can be in the form of plain black tracksuit bottoms or plain black shorts and a plain white or red t-shirt. No jewellery is to be worn on PE days | |
