PE in Year 4

PE takes place twice a week. We learn one activity for 6 consecutive lessons, then rotate onto a different activity. We are currently asking all children to come to school in their PE uniform on their PE days.

Year 3 has PE on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Year 4 has PE on Tuesdays and Swimming on Fridays (see below).

Please ensure that children can take their earrings out and that hair is tied back.

Swimming

At some point this year, your child will have swimming lessons at the Pavilions. In the autumn and spring terms, year 4 will be attending on a Friday afternoon. In the summer term, Year 3 will have their turn.

The children walk to the Pavilions, and we ask you to collect them from the Pavilions at the end of their swimming session.

Outdoor Learning

Whenever possible, we will be outside teaching the children. A focus for us this year, will be on Outdoor Education and therefore we may ask the children to bring a spare pair of wellies or shoes into school in a named bag. We ask that every child has a coat with them everyday, as we plan to be outside whatever the weather.
