P.E
In P.E year 1 have been practicing travelling by leaping, hopping and jumping. We used the spots to help us land on the right spot. We tried using two legs then made it harder by using one leg.

At Pleasant Street Primary School we believe that Physical Education and Sport have a vital role to play in the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of children. Physical Education and Sport are important in giving children the knowledge, understanding and the tools to make informed choices about healthy living and have a positive impact on their own health and well- being.
The Physical Education curriculum at Pleasant Street aims to provide for pupils’ increasing self- confidence through an ability to manage themselves successfully in a variety of situations. Children will have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of sports and physical activities which are all carried out in a safe and supportive environment, where effort and hard-work, as well as success, is celebrated and enjoyment and working together is promoted.
We ensure that all pupils are equipped with relevant life skills such as taking part in competitive sports and that they are able to swim a minimum of 25 metres by the end of year 6; We want our children to love physical education and sport. We promote high expectations, and want them to have no limits to their ambitions. Our ‘Be Inspired’ campaign is a drive to celebrate a diverse range of sporting icons, encouraging children to recognise and value the importance of physical and mental wellbeing
All pupils must wear the full school PE kit for lessons, tights underneath shorts are not allowed for hygiene reasons. Details can be found on the school uniform page. Please check the day your child needs their kit below.

The activity was not only fun but also helped build their confidence and cooperation in a playful, active setting.
We have really enjoyed developing our skills within ball games today. In groups we took turns in being either the goalkeepers or the attacker. When being a goalkeeper we could use our hands and feet to stop the ball but as an attacker we could only use our feet.

Class 2 enjoyed developing their throwing and catching skills. We focused on pushing the ball with both of our hands, releasing the ball when your hands are pointing at the target and using two hands and wide fingers to catch the ball. We applied our previous knowledge to enjoy and have fun with our partners.
In groups of four we took turns to throw the ball at a cone, once we had successfully hit the target we could turn the cone over. We explored using different throws such as underarm, overarm or chest pass. To challenge ourselves we used different size balls and discussed if this made the activity difficult or easier.
Our next activity involved us standing opposite each other either side of a hoop. We enjoyed throwing the ball using a chest pass to our partner making sure our hands are ready to catch.
We learnt pulling the ball towards our chest while catching stops the ball falling out of our hands.

We practised our sending and receiving during PE today. We enjoyed rolling the ball to each other and stopping the ball with any part of our body. We then repeated the task but this time we could only stop the ball with our hands as well as trying to move our feet to get in line with the ball. We learnt that we need to keep our eyes on the ball and stop it with wide fingers.
We enjoyed rolling the ball in any direction and making the ball travel through our partners legs or under their arms.
