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.
