Physical Education

 

Here at Oldmixon Primary School we endeavour to make P.E. an enjoyable experience for all children and provide them with two high quality PE lessons a week.  We encourage all children to participate in a range of different ways and inspire children to be the best they can be. Our teaching is focused on skills through sequences of lessons directed towards a specific aspect of physical activity; through real PE and the PE Hub schemes of work. We teach them to appreciate different skills and also new and obscure sports, such as skateboarding, archery and walking football. As children progress through Oldmixon Primary School, they take an increased amount of responsibility for their own physical activity. They are able to help lead warm ups and understand the importance of warming up. However, here at Oldmixon, we don’t just focus on the physical activity, we also show a huge importance to the why of physical activity, including healthy eating and leading healthy lifestyles. 

 

In Year 6, all children have the opportunity to attend one swimming lesson a week (as part of the National Curriculum). Children learn a range of strokes with the aim of being able to competently swim 25m by the end of the unit. During this unit of work, all children (regardless of ability) take part in a self-rescue session to provide them with skills that will keep them safe in water. If children are unable to swim 25m by the end of the swimming unit, we use our sports premium budget to give those children an extra opportunity during the summer term. 

 

Every year, we have sports week, with a healthy lifestyles link which has provided the children with talks from all different walks of the sporting world such as the tallest British basketball player and a football freestyler and skateboarding workshops! It finishes with a whole school sports day which celebrates both sporting success and sportsmanship with one child from each class winning the sportsmanship award.     

 

 

Within Physical Education, comes the aspect of competitive sport and participation. We strive for every child to have the opportunity to participate in sport outside of the curriculum. We offer many different opportunities from Tag Rugby to Boccia to Gymnastics. You can see these events on our events page on the website! We were extremely proud of our 2022/2023 year 4 class who came 5th out of 36 teams in the Bristol Sport Jailbreak Cup, also winning the sportsmanship award! 

 

                                     

 

 

Every year, Year 6 have the opportunity to attend the residential, partially funded by Sports Premium. This allows the children to experience outdoor and adventurous activities. These include archery, climbing, mountain biking and more!
