KS1 & KS2 physical education curriculum

In this unit of work, pupils will need to draw upon all of their prior learning of a vast range of athletic activities and strive to apply this understanding to the best of their ability through different competition formats. This unit will teach pupils about their body composition and enable pupils to develop an understanding of the events and activities they are suited to. Later, pupils will have the chance to work in teams where they will be challenged to select the events they should each compete in, specific to their own unique skill sets.
