P1-2 Curriculum Info Term 4 25-26

We began the term with a block of athletics. We took part in a variety of activities across three key areas: running, jumping and throwing. This gave us plenty of opportunities to learn, practise and improve the skills needed for our sports day events.

We have been busy learning about what plants need to grow and have planted our own peas.  We are hoping our carrot tops will sprout leaves and in turn give us some carrot seeds. We also helped the  Amenity Trust to plant tree in the school field.  It was great fun!

The 22nd of April was Earth Day and we learned a song called ‘Give The Earth The Care It Needs’.  We added four groups of percussion instruments to the song: boomwhackers, tambourines, triangles and claves.

Here is a clip of us playing our instruments.

We finished Term 3 with a block of badminton, focusing on developing agility, balance and hand-eye coordination.

Term 4 Overview

We are finishing the year off with three activities for four weeks each.

1 – Athletics with Determination and Resilience

2-Skipping with Stamina

3- Rounders with Cue Recognition.

In Music, as part of our World Book Day activities, we learned a song all about the Gruffalo, the lovable character created by Julia Donaldson. We learned the words and the melody first and then added some actions to help us.

Below are slides of each of the four verses and also a little video clip of the class performing.

 

This week we begin our third four‑week block of PE. So far this term, the class has enjoyed learning dance and handball, and we wanted to share what we’ve been working on.

Dance

In our dance block, pupils explored how to use movement to express ideas. We focused on:

• Using imagination and responding to different stimuli
• Travelling, stillness, shapes, jumps and gestures
• Changing rhythm, speed, level and direction
• Repeating patterns in movement
• Showing expression and confidence

The children had great fun experimenting with creative movement and performing short sequences.

Handball

During handball, we concentrated on building throwing and catching skills and taking part in small‑sided games. Pupils learned some of the key rules of the sport:

• Players have 3 seconds to pass or shoot
• Players may take 3 steps only while holding the ball

We also practised moving into space to make successful passes and talked about how handball is a fast‑paced, exciting team game.
