Hi and welcome to a new school year.

It was lovely to see all the pupils yesterday, especially meeting the new P1’s.  Here are the points I made at the start on the lesson –

• Come dressed for PE wearing- appropriate sports clothing.  No jeans, dresses or clothes that get in the way.  The motto is safe and comfortable.  A tee shirt under jumpers is better so when hot they have short sleeves.
• Shoes should be gym shoes or trainers that are clean and dry.
• If they are not dressed correctly on the day, the pupil can carry an item to change into.  The example I used was wearing boots in the winter, they would bring trainers in their bag.
• Hair should be tied back.  I was extremally impressed yesterday as every single person with long hair had done this.  Keep that up.
• Jewellery – for safety it should be taken off for PE.

Year Focus

This year we are going to be really focusing on what we are learning, and how we get better.

This term our activity is Games.  We will be looking at practical skills for a variety of sports and games like throwing, catching, kicking, striking, bouncing, dribbling, etc.  We will also be looking at other skills we do when playing games, like using the space, aiming, decision making, communication, cooperating, being resilient, persevering, showing respect, coping graciously, plus many more.
