KS1 & KS2 physical education curriculum

This unit provides pupils with the opportunity to build on their understanding of effective and purposeful movement. Pupils will take part in physical activities that build their understanding and knowledge of agility, balance, strength and flexibility. The unit will start to combine all prior learning around the importance of a healthy active lifestyle and inspire pupils to take ownership of their own health and wellbeing. Later in the unit, pupils have the chance to perform personal best efforts to challenge their fitness.
