Future

Currently and always wanting to improve the quality of PE in school – use as a scheme of work.

A possibility of a whole school approach where teachers and children will be familiar with the logbook and planning system.

Celebration reward assemblies.

Ensure teachers and children understand that their years scheme is to be covered over a year.

The terms healthy, social, physical and thinking me become second nature to the children.

The Pilot Study Programme

So the teachers liked it … but …

they were tough on us!!

“Not enough for two year groups

Thinking and social too easy to achieve

Can there be some kind of extension for the child that has achieved all the standard levels

Gold – Silver – Bronze?

Years 5 and 6

Need to feature more physical activity areas

Six levels and steps

In physical SOL for years 1-4 and 3 areas of activity for years 5-6
