PE at Holy Family aims to develop the knowledge, skills and capabilities necessary for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing in all our children now and for their future beginning in early years through fine, gross, locomotor and manipulation skills and continuing development through key stage one and two. Physical education is an important part of leading a healthier lifestyle and our curriculum ensures all children have the opportunity to have an outstanding experience in PE through teacher led or external led activities on a weekly basis. Our curriculum ensures that their knowledge of motor competence, rules, strategies, tactics, and healthy participation in order to meet the aims of the national curriculum is fully met at the end of each and every unit. Our offer teaches self-discipline and that to be successful you must work hard, show resilience and have the determination to believe that anything can be achieved through hard work and application. We deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to improve their skills and apply them to a game situation in every session. We want to teach all children how to independently cooperate and collaborate with others, as part of a team and as a leader, understanding fairness and competitiveness of play to embed life-long values in their lives. We ensure all children reflect on their own, and others’, performance and use clear communication within PE lessons. All children are taught the importance exercise has on their physical and mental health which motivates them to exercise beyond their Primary years. Our intent is clear at Holy Family; Physical Education is not for some; it is for everyone.

Then we played our first game with the parachute where the aim of the game was to stop the ball from going through the hole in the parachute. After that we made a multi-coloured dome by pulling the parachute over our heads and sitting on it. In our next game we had swap places with someone in the circle who had the same birthday month and then the first initial in their names. Our final game was cat and mouse. The cat had to crawl on top of the parachute to find the mouse who was crawling underneath the parachute. We had so much fun!
