Physical Education (PE) develops students’ knowledge, skills, physical competence and confidence, and their ability to use these to perform in a range of activities. These include dance, games, gymnastics, swimming and water safety, athletics and outdoor adventure activities. It promotes physical skilfulness, physical development and knowledge of the body in action. PE provides opportunities for pupils to be creative, competitive and to face up to different challenges as individuals and in groups and teams. It promotes positive attitudes towards active and healthy lifestyles. Pupils learn how to think in different ways to suit a wide variety of creative, competitive and challenging activities. They learn how to plan, perform and evaluate actions, ideas and performances to improve their quality and effectiveness. Through this process pupils discover their aptitudes, abilities and preferences, and make choices about how to get involved in lifelong physical activity.
The Physical Education
programme aims to ensure that children:
- Know and understand that physical education is concerned with healthy lifestyles and performing a range of movement activities
- Recognise and can describe how their bodies feel during exercise
- Are able to swim and to know the principles of water safety
- Develop and explore physical skills with increasing control, co-ordination, precision and consistency
- Work and play with others in a range of group situations
- Perform skills and apply rules and conventions for different activities
- Develop the ability to use what they have learnt to improve the quality and control of their performance
- Enjoy physical activity through creativity and imagination
- Are able to use movement as a means of expression and communication
- Understand how to succeed in a range of physical activities and how to evaluate their own uccess and that of others
- Are able to plan their own performance
- Understand the importance of hygiene and safety procedures in sports activities
Internationalism
At IST, children from
Foundation stage to Year 6 (age 3 to 11) have PE lessons, led by three PE
teachers who are French nationals and who conduct the lessons in French.
The PE programme follows
the English National Curriculum for Physical Education but where possible links
are made with the International Primary Curriculum (IPC).
Each school year sporting
activities are planned in cooperation with Deutsche Schule Toulouse (DST)
primary classes. At the end of the school year, a cooperation and competition
day for Year 5 and 6 pupils is organised between the IST, a local French school
and DST.
Planning and Differentiation
The PE staff has
developed a programme which follows the English National Curriculum for
Physical Education together with reference to the IPC Learning Goals and the
Foundation Stage Early Learning Goals.
Our teaching styles are broad and balanced and provide for children’s different learning styles. Where a child’s Individual Education Plans (IEPs) relate to their personal development we ensure that opportunities are planned to support children in achieving these.
The areas of activity for children in Foundation Stage are: development of motor skills and coordination, ball games, athletics, games, gymnastics and dance.
In
Year 1 and 2 children have lessons in football, rugby, gymnastics, dance,
games, coordination exercises, basketball, hockey, handball and athletics.
In
Year 3 and 4 children have lessons in football, rugby, gymnastics, dance,
hockey, coordination exercises, basketball, handball, athletics, badminton,
games, and swimming, depending on the availability of the swimming pool in
Colomiers. In the summer term, a trip to an outdoor activity centre is
organised to develop the outdoor and adventurous element of PE (cycling,
orienteering, climbing, canoe, mini-golf, archery).
In
Year 5 and 6 children have lessons in rugby, running, badminton, basketball,
football, hockey, dance, gymnastics, athletics, games and handball. In the summer or spring term a trip to an
outdoor activity centre is organised to develop the outdoor and adventurous
element of PE (rowing, snowshoes, sledging).
Teaching and learning is
delivered through long, medium and short term planning as detailed in the
Primary Planning Procedures.
- The long-term plan or Curriculum Map details the PE activities covered in each term.
- Medium-term plans, identify the Learning Objectives for each area of learning. These plans define what is taught and ensure an appropriate balance and distribution of work across each term.
- PE teachers complete a short term plan for each PE lesson. These list the specific learning objectives for each lesson and give details of how the lessons are to be taught. The PE teacher keeps these individual plans but they are monitored by the Head of Primary on a regular basis.
PE
activities are planned so that they build upon the prior learning of the
children. While there are opportunities for children of all abilities to
develop their skills, knowledge and understanding in each activity area, there is
planned progression built into the scheme of work, so that the children are
increasingly challenged as they move up through the school.
At
IST we teach PE to all children, whatever their ability. PE forms part of the
school curriculum and its policy to provide a broad and balanced education to
all children. Through our PE teaching we provide learning opportunities that
enable all pupils to make progress. This is done by setting suitable learning
challenges and responding to each child’s different needs.
When
progress falls significantly outside the expected range, the child may have
special educational needs. The assessment process looks at a range of factors;
classroom organisation, teaching materials, teaching style, differentiation.
Some additional or different actions may then be taken to enable the child to
learn more effectively. This ensures that teaching is matched to individual
need.
Intervention through Internal Support Strategies
(ISS) and External Support Strategies (ESS) will lead to the creation of an
Individual Education Plan (IEP) for children with Special Educational Needs.
The IEP may include, as appropriate, specific targets relating to PE
Assessment,
Recording and Reporting
Teachers
assess children’s work in PE by making assessments as they observe them working
during lessons. They record the progress made by children against the learning
objectives for their lessons. At the end of a unit of work, teachers make a
judgement as to whether the child has met the expectations of each individual
unit. They record the information in their assessment files and use
the information to plan the future work of each child. A pupil’s
achievement in PE is reported to parents at parents’ evenings and through the
annual written report.
Organisation and
Provision including Cross-curricular and Extra-curricular
At the IST, children from
Foundation stage to Year 6 (from age 3 to 11 years) have PE lessons, led by
three PE teachers who are French Nationals and who conduct the lessons in French.
All children have two
sessions of PE per week: one session is organized inside to develop indoor
activities (like Handball, Gymnastics and Dance) and one session is delivered
outside to develop outdoor games and athletics skills. The different activities
have been developed over one year so that children experience a full range of
PE activities. Each sporting activity is developed over half a term. Therefore,
during a school year, pupils are engaged in minimum 10 different activities as
either individual or team sporting activities.
Extra-curricular activities
The
school provides a range of after school PE-related activities including
basketball, football, roller, badminton, rugby, ultimate, gymnastics and dance
for children. These encourage children to further develop their skills in a
range of the activity areas. The school sends details of the current club
activities to parents at the beginning of each term.
Sporting events
Sporting events are organized during the school year:
- Sports day,
- Extra activities after school,
- Competition against other schools (Deutsche Schule Toulouse
Primary, Vacquiers French public school)
- Collaboration with other schools (Deutsche Schule Toulouse Primary,
Vacquiers French public school)
- Sports instructors visiting: boxing, hip-hop dance, capoeira,
- Outdoor trips: Saint Ferreol lake (canoe, climbing, trampoline, archery), Toulouse Canal (rowing), Pyrenees mountain (snowshoes, sledging), Bouconne Forest (cycling, mini-golf, orienteering)
Use of ICT
ICT is not used
significantly to support the Primary PE curriculum other than to facilitate
teachers planning and recording of student attainment. However it can be used
to project videos for example in dance or some gymnastics movements, and to
play music and sounds for dance sessions.
Health and safety
Children
are taught to consider their own safety and the safety of others at all times. All IST pupils must have a PE kit as prescribed in the School Uniform
document and have a medical certificate signed by their doctor to be able to
take part in sports activities.
PE teachers set a good example by wearing appropriate clothing when teaching PE.
School uniform rules state that no jewellery is to be worn for any physical
activity.
Each
PE teacher has a current first aid certificate.
Physical
resources including technology
The School has excellent on site sports
facilities including a purpose built sports hall, a 100m track, a long-jump
track, an all-weather pitch and an enclosed hard court area. There is a wide range of resources to support the teaching of PE across the
school, all kept in the IST PE store within the Sports Hall but also accessible
from the outdoor sports facilities. Children help set up and put away equipment
as part of their work as by doing so they learn to handle equipment
appropriately and safely. Depending on availability some year groups are taught swimming
for one term per year and use the local swimming pool in Colomiers.
