Year 8 PE Curriculum: In Year 8 the PE curriculum is designed with the following intentions:
- Skill Synthesis and Strategic Play: Throughout Year 8, students will enhance their ability to effectively integrate and apply skills and rules within competitive scenarios. This includes utilising strategies to create space and outmanoeuvre opponents. They will also begin to grasp the concept of transferring skills between different activities, fostering versatility.
- Athletics: Students will actively engage in athletics activities, attempting to build resilience through challenging themselves to beat their own scores.
- Performance Analysis and Progress: Pupils will develop the ability to critically analyse their performances. By comparing their current performance to previous ones, they will effectively demonstrate their own advancement and identify areas for further growth.
- Muscular Knowledge and Training Types: As part of their curriculum, students will expand their understanding of muscles and various types of training. This knowledge equips them with insights into effective physical conditioning strategies.
- Health Awareness and Extracurricular Engagement: Building on their understanding of health benefits, students will be encouraged to actively participate in physical activities and competitive sports beyond the school environment.
