Physical Education

Foundation: 

This term, Foundation students will explore the grounds and facilities at Cheltenham Primary School and participate in a range of activities to assist in developing confidence in PE. These will include following directions, working in pairs and small groups and learning to use equipment safely. Foundation students also learn a variety of games to develop their fundamental movement skills. 

Years 1 & 2

During Term 1, we will focus on revisiting and improving the fundamental movement skills including throwing, catching, dribbling, running, dodging and kicking. Students will perform these skills in a variety of settings including skill drills, modified games and collaboratively with a partner or small group. 

Years 3 & 4 

Students in Year 3 and 4 will look to transfer their fundamental movement skills to game sense activities in a range of modified and major games including Tee Ball, Basketball and Soccer. Students will be able to scaffold their skills by using a variety of equipment and working in small groups during modified game play. The focus will be on ensuring each student has the opportunity to refine their skills in isolation during skills drills and developing those skills during game play as each lesson progresses. 

Years 5 & 6 

During Term 1, our senior students will be working in pairs and small groups while participating in a range of sports and activities. They will explore the concepts of striking and fielding games through our Rounders unit. Requiring them to showcase their underarm pitching, overarm throwing, fielding and striking skills during game play. 

Students will be given opportunities to develop their offensive and defensive skills during our Soccer and Netball units later in the term. Students will learn to play a variety of positions, refine their fundamental skills and work collaboratively to ensure team success.
