PE
Intent and progression
Hook Infant School's motto of Every Child, Every Day, Every Future, underpins our practise and beliefs for all areas of the curriculum. We believe that every child needs to be able to access every opportunity every day, building a future for each and every one of them. During P.E lessons we aim to encourage all of our children to be physically active and make healthy choices when it comes to healthy living. We will teach every child how to keep themselves fit and healthy. We achieve this while tailoring all lessons and outcomes to the individual needs of our children. At Hook Infant School, we know not only the importance of fine and gross motor skills and how these impact on other areas of the curriculum such as handwriting, but also the importance of physical activity on children's mental health and wellbeing.
In P.E lessons we teach children fundamental physical skills which feed through into their everyday lives. This starts in Early Years, where children are supported by interventions from the Solent children's therapy service providing individually tailored exercise to help them with physical aspects such as core stability. Alongside planned P.E lessons, Early Years children access a whole range of physical activities in their free flow environment including, digging in the mud pit, climbing on the playdale, building their own challenges using beams and tyres and collecting gems with tweezers. During Key Stage 1 these initial skills are extended through more structured lessons, and teamwork and following rules are focussed on in greater depth.
Hook Infant School values are respect, perseverance, courage, teamwork and kindness. These are deeply rooted and embedding into every aspect of the children's day including P.E lessons. P.E progression is planned alongside our school values. Tracking the progression of P.E is crucial, not only to ensure that children are developing in all areas of Physical development, but also to notice areas that need extra support. The progression that we would expect to see in children is below.
