Within our S1 block the pupils will participate in a range of 8 activities. During each lesson will look to integrate all 4 of the Significant Aspects of Learning (SALs), yet we will look to put more onus on one of the four SALs, in this case Physical Competencies. We will explicitly focus on basing our learning intentions and success criteria around them, in turn assessing the pupils through the corresponding benchmarks.

As well as this we will look to focus our assessment around the Movement Skills Competencies and Concepts, with the specific experiences and outcomes being listed at the top of each lesson plan.

Here is a copy of the S1 timetable for this year;

S1 2019-20

S1 Physical Education Programme

Learning through health and wellbeing enables children and young people to:

• Make informed decisions in order to improve their mental, emotional, social and physical wellbeing
• Experience challenge and enjoyment
• Experience positive aspects of healthy living and activity for themselves
• Apply their mental, emotional, social and physical skills to pursue a healthy lifestyle
• Make a successful move to the next stage of education or work
• Establish a pattern of health and wellbeing which will be sustained into adult life, and which will help to promote the health and wellbeing of the next generation of Scottish children.

It also enables some to perform at high levels in sport or prepare for careers within the health and leisure industries.

The Health and Well-Being Experiences from HWB 3-01a to HWB 4-19a are the responsibility of all adults who are working together to support the learning and development of children and young people. These will be addressed on an on-going basis in PE from S1 to S3

The following experience and outcome will also be addressed throughout all activities within the S1-3 PE curriculum:

HWB 3-25a               

I am experiencing enjoyment and achievement on a daily basis by taking part in different kinds of energetic physical activities of my choosing, including sport and opportunities for outdoor learning, available at my place of learning and in the wider community.

The following experiences and outcomes will be addressed throughout all activities within the S1- 3 curriculum, and also throughout all school sport and extra-curricular physical activities
