Waterside Primary school believes that Physical Education (PE), experienced in a safe and supportive environment, is essential to ensure children attain optimum physical and emotional development and good health. At Waterside we work in collaboration with Bee Active who provide our PE provision to ensure that we deliver high-quality learning opportunities that inspire all children to succeed in Physical Education and in developing life skills. We want to teach children skills to keep them safe such as being able to swim. We also want to teach children how to cooperate and collaborate with others as part of an effective team, understanding fairness and equality of play to embed life-long values. Our curriculum aims to improve the wellbeing and fitness of all children , not only through the sporting skills taught, but through the underpinning values and disciplines PE promotes.

Dinosaur Stomp - PE
In PE we loved playing Dinosaur stomp! We used our super listening skills to move and freeze. We chose different ways to move around the hall using all points of our body such as crawling, slithering, shuffling, stomping and running.
Gymnastics!
We have begun Gymnastics this half term and we have remembered a lot of the shapes that we made with our bodies from Reception. The children could show me a tuck, pike, straddle and star shape. We also recapped some more of the shapes that we may have forgotten about and used them in a sequence.
It’s all about balance!
With Bee Active, we are focusing on balance and the importance of space. We know to find space we need to look with our heads up, scan the area and that we may need to change our direction. We practised balancing in lots of different fun games!
