P.E. at Bedford Drive Primary School

The school has adapted the National Curriculum for P.E. as defined by the Department for Education. The National Curriculum for P.E. 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.

There are a number of ways that you can support your child with P.E. at home and Mr Fisher, Subject Leader for P.E has prepared the following information that may be useful for you.

We would like to share our work and learning

Foundation 2

F2 explored how to balance and manage their own bodies within Athletic activities. We were able to stretch, reach and move in a variety of different ways. We enjoyed applying our new skills learnt, during Sports Day.

Year 1

We recapped our prior knowledge of running, jumping and throwing within athletics from our F2 PE lessons. Year 1 then began to link running and jumping together to jump for distance. We also developed different throwing techniques, in order to help us throw over long distances.

Year 2

Y2 developed their power, agility, coordination and balance in order to help them negotiate obstacles. We especially enjoyed the obstacle races, during sports day.

Year 3

Y3 developed their agility and speed in order to help them jump for height and distance within Athletics. We also applied the same principles for throwing. 

Year 4

Y4 investigated, different ways of performing running, jumping and throwing actions. We also used a variety of equipment to help measure time and distance across running, jumping and throwing. We have also enjoyed learning the rules of cricket and rounders whilst developing the skills that we have learnt throughout the year.

Year 5

Y5 investigated different ways to sustain pace over short and long distances, within running. We also ran as a relay team and used different tactics in order to improve our running time. We understood the use of a baton in a relay race and how to correctly hold and exchange the baton.

Year 6

Y6 applied, strength and flexibility in their running, throwing and jumping. We became judges and umpires across a variety of different athletic activities. We enjoyed playing those umpiring skills within sports day.

At Bedford Drive Primary School, we have constructed an ambitious P.E curriculum, which follows the content of the EYFS statutory framework and the National Curriculum. These documents, along with our school policy, are available below.
