Year 4 PE Curriculum
In Year 4 pupils will apply their increasing knowledge to evaluate their own performance in a range of activities. They will also attend swimming sessions to develop both their techniques and knowledge of water safety.
 
  • Use running, jumping, throwing and catching in isolation and in combination.
  • Play competitive games, modified where appropriate, and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending.
  • Create and perform different actions that work in sequence using floor or apparatus in order to develop flexibility, strength, technique, control and balance.
  • Run for shorter and longer distances, recognising the need to adapt pace in Athletics based on the event.
  • Create and perform controlled movement patterns of increasing length in Dance.
  • Experience outdoor and adventurous activity both individually and within a team.
  • Compare and evaluate their performances with previous ones.
  • Swim competently, confidently and efficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.
  • Use a range of strokes effectively, including front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke.
  • Perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations.
