Term 1 Physical Education
Welcome back after the holidays! I hope everyone had a lovely break? During Term 1, students through a wide variety of warm ups, games, activities and team based tasks will further develop their fundamental motor skills and gradually learn to apply these in modified games and activities. As they move through the school they progress their learning into more 'sport' based scenarios. You can see below what areas of the curriculum the students will be exposed to. As I have only 45 minutes once a week with students It would be amazing if you could reinforce these skills and others at any opportunity you have at home, in the park or in organised sport.
