Physical Education Timetable
 

Physical education (PE) whilst it is a form of exercise is more focused on learning and developing new skills, whereas physical activities are mainly exercise driven.
 

It is very important for both physical activity and physical education (PE) activities that the sessions are engaging for children. This can be done by making it active, fun, including an opportunity to set & beat scores and ensuring the exercises/tasks are varied so they don’t become tedious.

Below are links that will help your child access PE type activities.  Enjoy and perhaps even take part yourself!
 

Below is a table of active sessions you and your family can get involved in.

Being active is very important and the NHS recommend:

• aim for an average of at least 60 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a day across the week
• take part in a variety of types and intensities of physical activity across the week to develop movement skills, muscles and bones

• reduce the time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods of not moving with some activity. Aim to spread activity throughout the day. All activities should make you breathe faster and feel warmer

Another instalment from Notts School Games. 

Please use this resource to help stay active at home throughout the week.

It provides a clear focus for development, a friendly step by step guide to setting up and taking part in each activity, as well as adaptations to make the tasks more or less challenging.

Another weeks worth of activities to help stay active at home #StayHomeStayActive

For those of us at home that would like to stay (or become) active, supporting our growth and healthy lifestyles, The School Games Organiser network and Active Notts have been working together to bring us weeks worth of fun activities to keep up on our toes at home. 

Check out what they had to say

"The weekly activities will be sport themed and include golf, football, orienteering, athletics, cricket, gymnastics, boccia, netball and racquet sports. All activities have been developed so everyone can have a go using equipment found in the home and in whatever space you have available."
 

Sounds good right? Well what are you waiting for?

The younger members of our school community may/will require support with the reading side of things in regards to accessing the resource. They may also need some encouragement and support from those at home - Children thrive off positive reinforcement. If you can spare some time in the week to have a go at these activities with your child, the support you give, and the experiences they will have, will continue to develop and strengthen their positive outlook on active lifestyles and P.E. in general. What an amazing thought!

You don't have to stick to the order of activities. You don't have to try all the activities either.

Pick and choose from the activities provided if it is better suited to you, or go all out and try to complete the whole programme. 

Don't forget #StayHomeStayActive.

Please see document underneath this post for the activities.

Enjoy and take care,

Mr. Zisaruk-Gibson

The Joy of Moving Home School Festival - Support required for younger children.

The Joy of Moving Home School Festival has been devised, and supported by the EFL Trust, a charity that supports football in the English Football League. 

Joy of Moving is an unbranded CSR programme designed to inspire active lifestyles in children. Its aim is to teach children how to enjoy moving through play, and to help them develop positive habits for adulthood. 

This pack has been designed for you and your family to have an afternoon of fun, with different games and activities to choose from. You won’t need much equipment and there is an activity at the start that helps you find and collect useful things!
 

How does it all work?

For the Joy of Moving Games you will be given three possible activities per game:

• Option A is an individual game that you can play on your own.

• Option B and C are more group-based  for you to enjoy with the people you live with. (Parents: you can find more information about these games  on the Joy of Moving website  www.joyofmovingresourcehub.co.uk)
 

For the lifestyle activities:

• Options A or B help you understand why physical activity and time for reflection is good for you.
 

Good luck, get playing, and most importantly – HAVE FUN!
