Throughout the unit the children will continue to learn about dynamics, rhythm and pitch through a range of games and activities. By the end of the unit the children will perform their own class version of the song. |
PE | In our Outdoor PE sessions, we will be returning to Tag Rugby. The children will build on the skills they learnt in Year 5. They will refine their ability to throw and catch the rugby ball and think about the ‘offside rule’ and how this impacts on the way they can move on the pitch. They will also develop their ability to attack and defend, working consistently as a whole team. For their Indoor PE session, the children will be looking at circuit training. This will link in with our HRE topic of Keeping Healthy. The children will learn about the different parts of the body and how to develop strength and stamina when exercising. They will consider how to create effective warm up, work out and cool down routines that help to build up strength and aerobic fitness. |
