KS1 & KS2 physical education curriculum

The unit will reinforce key subject knowledge from prior learning, through narrative methodologies enabling pupils to imagine, create, interpret as well as connect physical, linguistic and cognitive learning from other curriculum areas. Pupils will continue to develop motor competence to complement their wider physical education experience whilst introducing opportunities to be expressive and respond to creative stimuli such as the spoken word and music. Later in this unit pupils will develop, extend and build upon the foundational movement teaching and creative play.
