Dressing for PE

In the interest of personal hygiene and for safety reasons it is essential that children change for PE lessons. Throughout their time at Elmore Green, after an initial cost of £5, the children will be provided with a school PE bag, black shorts and a green PE shirt. The children will need a pair of named black pumps for outdoor PE lessons, however older children may prefer to wear trainers for their outdoor PE lessons.

​

If tights are worn to school, a pair of socks should be brought in and kept in the child’s PE bag.

​

Gymnastic and dance lessons will take place with bare feet. During cold weather the children may bring black or grey tracksuit bottoms/leggings and a black or grey sweatshirt to wear during outdoor lessons.

​

Pupils in Year 5 and 6 will take part in swimming lessons at Bloxwich Active Living Centre. The children will need a one-piece swimming costume or trunks/swimming shorts and a towel.  Although it is important that the children learn to swim without goggles, after discussion with the teacher, more able swimmers may be permitted to use them during their lesson, especially when ‘stroke work’ is the teaching focus.

​

Jewellery

No jewellery is permitted during PE due to the potential safety risks. The children must be able to remove their own earrings for swimming and P.E. in order to comply with health and safety guidelines. If they cannot do this, they must not wear them to school on PE days. 

 

Please note if your child is intending to have their ears pierced this should be arranged at the beginning of the Summer holidays when they can be left in for a sustained period of time.

Purpose of study

A high-quality physical education curriculum inspires all pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically-demanding activities. It should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way which supports their health and fitness. Opportunities to compete in sport and other activities build character and help to embed values such as fairness and respect.

​

Aims

The national curriculum for physical education aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • develop competence to excel in a broad range of physical activities

  • are physically active for sustained periods of time

  • engage in competitive sports and activities

  • lead healthy, active lives

​

Key Stage 1

Pupils should develop fundamental movement skills, become increasingly competent and confident and access a broad range of opportunities to extend their agility, balance and coordination, individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and against others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations.

 

Pupils should be taught to:

  • master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range of activities

  • participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending

  • perform dances using simple movement patterns.

​

Key Stage 2

Pupils should continue to apply and develop a broader range of skills, learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement.

​

They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.

 

Pupils should be taught to:

  • use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination

  • play competitive games, modified where appropriate [for example, badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis], and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending

  • develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance [for example, through athletics and gymnastics]

  • perform dances using a range of movement patterns

  • take part in outdoor and adventurous activity challenges both individually and within a team

  • compare their performances with previous ones and demonstrate improvement to achieve their personal best.

 

Swimming and Water Safety

All schools must provide swimming instruction either in key stage 1 or key stage 2.

​

In particular, pupils should be taught to:

  • swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres

  • use a range of strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke]

  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
