Physical Heath and Fitness
PE CURRICULUM INTENT
“Athletics are great. But physical education is for every youngster -- to help them learn about themselves, learn about their bodies, learn ways to become physically active but not necessarily to compete.”
George Graham
At Spilsby Primary Academy, our aim is for our pupils to gain knowledge of the need for healthy, active lifestyles and how to achieve this by building exercise into everyday routines. We aim for our pupils to develop values and transferrable life skills such as fairness, honesty, resilience and respect and to engage in sports and activities, competing independently and collaboratively.
IMPLEMENTATION

- Planned broad selection of activities during
- (including lunch time) and after school
- Sustained periods of physical activity
- Carefully planned progression of knowledge and skills
- Regular sporting competitions /events
- Use of subject specific vocabulary and key subject knowledge
- Swimming / water safety sessions for KS2
The fundamentals
Promotion of the importance of healthy lifestyle. Twice weekly PE sessions
PE uniform to be worn by all.
A belief that PE is accessible to every child.
Accurate use of appropriate PE vocabulary/ terminology.

A brilliant morning for the Infinity Academy Cup. Great to have our schools together. Thanks to St Thomas’ for hosting and congrats to St Nicholas Primary for the win, and to our team who picked up the sportsmanship award!!
3T have loved football this half term and have made so much progress. They had great fun this morning using their shooting, passing and dribbling skills in a tournament. Brilliant work 3T and a big thankyou to Mr Chamberlain for his patience!
What a lovely morning for Inter School Sport ☀️ Well done to the 15 teams competing at our Y5/6 Football Tournament. All matches played in good spirit and most importantly loads of smiley faces!
Year 1 have been learning the skills of jumping over low hurdles in preparation for Sports day. They learnt the importance of using their arms to enable them to jump really far and using their squishy knees to land correctly and safely.
Year 2R practiced their dribbling skills in basketball this morning during their PE lesson
Well done to Team Spilsby for placing 4th and 5th in JB Sports Y3/4 Hockey Tournament today. A fab result against 12 other schools.
This week in gymnastics, year 1, have been learning about jumping. We learnt how to jump safely and used the equipment to practice our pike, tuck and star jumps.
Year 6 showed great teamwork and determination in their PE sport lesson today. Skills such as aiming, rolling and under arm throwing ensured the highest points possible were achieved.
Today all of Year 1 had a special visitor come into school and teach the children the art of Samba a traditional Brazilian dance. The children copied and remember simple movement patterns, showing awareness of rhythm, they then used these skills to use different parts of the body to create movements, such as stepping, stretching and skipping to move to the Samba beat.
Reception children enjoyed their visit from JB the dog today. They listened to a story about fireworks and then created some wonderful dance moves from the story.
Infinity Cup
Spilsby did themselves and the school proud at the first tournament of the school year. Brilliant sportsmanship, determination and team spirit.

Each class took part in their own sports day this week. Every child worked really hard to build points for their house team through a range of track and field events. Great sportsmanship and resilience was shown throughout.
Scores were combined across all the classes and the final scores and winners revealed in the Friday Celebration Assembly, with the winning team being announced as Dymoke. The house captains collected the trophy on behalf of all its team members.
A great sports morning for all the children, learning to win and lose and being good sports. The sun was shining too!
