Autumn Term Overview
In the Autumn term, the focus will be on fostering a well-rounded and active lifestyle. The curriculum aims to introduce students to a variety of physical activities, enhancing their motor skills, teamwork, and overall physical fitness.
During games, children will engage in a range of activities that promote coordination, strategic thinking, and cooperation. These games are designed to make learning enjoyable while developing fundamental movement skills like running, jumping, and throwing.
In dance classes, students will explore creative expression through movement. Choreographed routines and free-form dance help children build body awareness, rhythm, and confidence. This artistic component of PE encourages individual expression and teamwork as they learn to move in harmony with their peers.
Gymnastics will play a crucial role in developing strength, flexibility, and balance. Children will be introduced to basic gymnastic movements, such as rolls, handstands, and cartwheels, with an emphasis on proper technique and safety. These activities contribute not only to physical development but also enhance body control and spatial awareness.
Overall, the Autumn term in PE provides a holistic approach to physical education, combining the joy of play, the creativity of dance, and the discipline of gymnastics to lay the foundation for a lifelong appreciation of a healthy and active lifestyle.
