Physical Education in Year 1 and 2

At the International School of Toulouse (IST), children from Foundation stage to Year 6 have PE lessons, led by three PE teachers who are French Nationals and who conduct the lessons in French. Primary students have two sessions of PE per week: one session is organized inside and one outside.

All IST pupils must have a PE kit as prescribed in the School uniform document and have a medical certificate to be able to take part in sports activities.

PE is taught in the School’s purpose built facilities including a purpose built sports hall, a 100m track, a long-jump track, an all-weather pitch and a hard court area. Children from Year 3 may also go to a local swimming pool, depending on availability.

Aims for PE in Year 1 and 2

During Year 1 and 2 pupils build on their natural enthusiasm for movement, using it to explore and learn about their world. They start to work and play with other pupils in pairs and small groups.

By watching, listening and experimenting, they develop their skills in movement and coordination, and enjoy expressing and testing themselves in a variety of situations
