TURNING
CHILDREN INTO CHAMPIONS!
Physical
education promotes an understanding in children of their
bodies in action, develops knowledge and skills. It involves
thinking, selecting and applying skills and promotes
positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. At Hornsby
North Public School we believe that it is important for
students to develop increasing competence and confidence in
a range of physical activities, which enables them to make
informed choices about physical activity throughout their
lives.
We use a
variety of teaching and learning styles in PE lessons. Our
principal aim is to develop the children’s knowledge, skills
and understanding and we do this through a mixture of
whole-class teaching and individual/group activities. At
Hornsby North we draw attention to good examples of
individual performance as models for the other children and
we encourage the children to evaluate their own work as well
as the work of other children. Within lessons we give the
children the opportunity both to collaborate and to compete
with each other, and they have the opportunity to use a wide
range of resources.
