Year 5
Term 1
Dance
Dance is taught by Mrs Selwood. Dances will be based around topics that are studied in other subjects, to build some cross curricular links. Specific actions will be taught and children will have the opportunity to consider how to sequence these using dynamics, space and relationships.
Football
Football is an invasion game. Children are taught about attacking and defending, and the skills needed to do this. Children will consider strategy and tactics to outwit their opposition. Maintaining possession and moving the ball towards the goal are taught. As well as the skills needed, the idea of fair play, honesty and teamwork are developed.
Term 2
OAA
Outdoor adventurous activities (OAA) allow pupils to work individually, in pairs or in groups to solve problems and encourage others. Pupils will share ideas to create strategies and plans to solve a challenge. Pupils are given the opportunity to lead groups, understand scale and direction and follow routes around a course.
Yoga
Pupils learn poses that challenge their balance, flexibility and strength. They will also use their breath to hold poses, move within poses and transition from one pose to the next.
