This term, our PE lessons have centred around developing Gross and Fine Motor Skills through football and rugby. Pupils began with football, practising key techniques such as passing and dribbling.

Over the past three weeks, we’ve shifted our focus to rugby, where pupils have been learning essential skills like carrying the ball, moving away from defenders and passing.

In Primary 1, our focus was on developing the fundamental skills needed for football and rugby. This included running, stopping, starting, changing direction, using space safely, spatial awareness, listening, following instructions, responding to cues, and handling equipment with control. We also introduced moving with the ball and passing, alongside other activities using different equipment to build coordination and confidence.

The class have settled in nicely and are slowly growing in confidence when working with games equipment.
