We have have started the year in PE with a block of Games.  Our focus has been on ball games, covering  skills of throwing, catching, kicking and bouncing both in individual practices and in game situations.  We have also looked at skills that are required to play in games like team work, cooperation, aiming, movement, problem solving, decision making and much more.

As part of our development in PE, we are considering our learning.  While working in tasks we want to be asking 3 main questions

• what am I learning
• how am I get on
• what do I need to do next

We thought about these questions in a game called Basketball Rounders.  After the discussions we worked the individual skills required to play the game, passing, shooting and dribbling, before retrying the game.   Although we still found the skills difficult to do in competitive situations, there was a big improvement in all aspects of the game.
