PE
Welcome to PE at St Josephs.
During our PE lessons we ensure that every body takes part in 2 PE sessions a week. We also promote active learning throughout the school day. This is done through movement within the classroom.
Each day the children take part in a daily mile around the playground to improve fitness and well being.
At St Josephs we follow the REAL PE scheme that allows us to have a half termly focus of Learning Behaviour cogs. These include; Personal, Social, Applying Physical, Cognitive, Creative, Health and Fitness skills. Within this focus each half term we then develop our Fundamental Movement skills, Gym skills and dance.
Please read below to find out more information about our vision.
