Physical Education - Year 7

Physical Education Overview

Term 1: Baseline Assessment

Students will undertake a variety of different activities including: Cross country, sprints, power tests, indoor athletics, agility runs, the cooper test and small sided games.

  1. Every activity will be assessed and recorded. At the end of term 1 students will receive a baseline grade.
Take Off

this is the transition between the run and the jump with the athlete propelling their body into the air. In the case of the triple jump the propulsion of the body is delayed with a hop, step and jump preceding the take off.

Flight

this is the period of time when the body is airborne.

Landing

this is the point at which the athlete finishes the jump marking the distance

Sprint

propelling yourself as fast as you can.

Endurance

The ability of the body to keep working over a period of time.

Throw

the ability to propel an object from your hands as far as possible.

Triple Jump

a jump compromising of a hop, step and a jump.

Jump

to propel yourself forwards or upwards using your legs.

Rugby

A team game played with an oval ball that may be kicked, carried, and passed from hand to hand. Points are scored by grounding the ball behind the opponents' goal line (thereby scoring a try) or by kicking it between the two posts and over the crossbar

Term 3 - 6: PE at Becket Keys during Covid

During the lockdown period PE lessons will be continuing as per the timetable. We will, therefore, be providing work for the students on a weekly basis. Work for physical education lessons has been published on the schools VLE system. It compromises of a variety skill or fitness related tasks which the students will complete at home. A reminder will be sent to the students via Satchel One on the day of their PE lesson. Additionally, students will be able to contact their PE teacher via Satchel One if they require any guidance or feedback.

We are also offering an extra-curricular provision for those who are passionate towards their health and fitness. The Race around the World challenge encourages students to log their exercise with the PE department. Students are able to either run, walk or cycle their way to fitness within this scheme. Distances are collated as a school, year group and form to generate a common goal of racing around the world together. Please follow our progress at #BKRaceAroundtheWorld.

For those of you who would like skill or game based extra-curricular activities the PE staff have been posting a variety of skill-based tasks via Twitter @BecketKeysPE for the students to continue to work on their sporting fundamentals.
