PE @ Pendeen
Physical Education and Physical Literacy at Pendeen aims to develop the knowledge, skills and capabilities necessary for mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing in our children now and for their future. Physical fitness is an important part of leading a healthier lifestyle. It 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.
At Pendeen, we aim to teach children the motivation, confidence, physical competence and understanding to value and take responsibility for physical activities for life. This will enable all pupils to understand the positive impact physical activity can have on their future health and well-being. We aim to deliver high-quality teaching and learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in Physical Literacy so that they develop competence over time to excel in a broad range of physical activities. Our PE curriculum will focus on six key learning behaviours:
1) Personal – accept challenge 2) Social – support others 3) Cognitive – identify areas to improve
4) Creative – recognise and respond 5) Physical – select & apply 6) Health and Fitness – prepare for activity
Our Real PE program enables all teachers to deliver exciting and engaging lessons with the confidence over time to deliver outstanding outcomes for all children. We believe that children who are learning to move will acquire the necessary skills and techniques and the acquisition of understanding that are requisites to participation in a variety of physical activities. Furthermore, we have strong, well-established links with community sports clubs to help ensure our children fully engage in all the opportunities that are presented to them.
