The children also learn at the end of each unit how to play traditional and non-traditional sports, learn the rules of a game, work as a team, work at their personal best, create their own dance sequence, etc. To learn these fundamental skills, children need to be able to try their best, work together, follow instructions, be confident at being active. Each term, we focus on different cogs which support developing the whole child so they will learn to be happy and confident learners not only in PE but in all areas of the curriculum.  

In summer term 1 we focus on the physical cog, which aligns with our school values of independence, happiness, responsibility, confidence and resilience. This is what each year group will be developing in PE but also across the curriculum to be successful learners. For the physical cog, this could be by showing controlling movement focus when forming letters in writing or by performing your skills/learning confidently to others in a drama piece.
