Why this why now
During their locomotion unit, pupils may have experienced the effects of exercise, but this unit is the first time pupils will be challenged to think about why we move and how important movement is for our bodies. Introducing words such as exercise and wellbeing will teach pupils to the different ways we can exercise through PE and physical activity. The unit will prepare pupils for all future learning through PE and encourage pupils to have a positive experience of movement as they start their journeys to understanding the impact exercise has on leading healthy, active lifestyles.
Prior knowledge requirements
- Pupils can experiment moving in different ways.
- Pupils can travel with confidence.
- Pupils know why we need to move our bodies.
