Stay active at home (and keep learning…)

It is really important we all stay active during this time.

Children are used to being physically active during the school day so keeping some level of activity during the day will ensure their physical and mental health. Also, children enjoy being active!

The official guidance is that children should have at least 60 mins a day of moderate to vigorous activity.

• During moderate intensity activity children should still be able to carry on a conversation

• During vigorous intensity activity, children should find it more difficult to carry on a conversation.

Reception and KS1
The key to the Reception and KS1 curriculum is developing the children’s fundamental movement skills. They should become increasingly competent and confident both individually and with others. They should be able to engage in competitive (both against self and others) and co-operative physical activities, in a range of increasingly challenging situations.

Pupils should be taught to:
• master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as
developing balance, agility and co-ordination, and begin to apply these in a range ofactivities
• participate in team games, developing simple tactics for attacking and defending
• perform dances using simple movement patterns.
[from the PE National Curriculum]

What are fundamental movement skills?
I tend to describe them as the “..ings”, for example:

Locomotor - walking, running, hopping, skipping, bounding, leaping, jumping, rolling, galloping, sliding, dodging

Stability - balancing, landing, turning, twisting, bending, stretching, extending, flexing, hanging, bracing, rotating

Manipulative - throwing, catching, striking, kicking, dribbling, bouncing, pushing, pulling, carrying, trapping, collecting

Any activity which involves any of the above skills is great for the children.

Ideas for this week:
Read a story:
• Can you act out the story, eg. Moving in different ways and at different speeds

Creating an obstacle course:
• Can you climb over/ under/ along, jump over obstacles with control?

Musical Statues:
• Can the children make a shape which they can hold still for 3-5 secs?
• Can their shape be on their feet? What other parts of their body can they use?
• If they are finding this easy, can they link 2 shapes together?

KS2
The curriculum in KS2 looks at develop and apply a broader range of skills and learning how to use them in different ways and to link them to make actions and sequences of movement. They should enjoy communicating, collaborating and competing with each other. They should develop an understanding of how to improve in different physical activities and sports and learn how to evaluate and recognise their own success.

These can include:
• Invasion games (netball, football, hockey etc),
• Striking & fielding games (cricket, stoolball etc)
• Net games (tennis, badminton, volleyball etc)
• Gymnastics and Dance
• OAA

These can be developed individually, in pairs and in teams with competition:
• How many can I do?
• Can I improve my score? How can I achieve this?
• How well can my partner and I do?
• Can we improve our score? How can we achieve this?
• How well has my team done?
• How can we do better?
