King Edward Vi School Southampton KING EDWARD VI SCHOOL SOUTHAMPTON Sports Faculty Schemes of Work (Updated September 2017) Lower School Physical Education Students will follow units of work across a range of activities to provide a broad curriculum aimed at developing and reinforcing a wide range of skills. The breadth of activity is also intended to give the students the opportunity to discover an activity that they may wish to continue into later life. There is a clear focus on health related fitness to ensure that all students have the knowledge and understanding to be able to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. Upper School Physical Education Years 4 & 5 Where several forms are grouped together for Physical Education it may be necessary to operate a rota where short courses are run in a variety of activities, each group of pupils experiencing each activity. 4th Year Where possible activities are taught giving the lesson structure and a natural progression for the student to learn a new skill/game. 5th Year At this stage of their schooling students have a wide a varied knowledge of a variety of games. The lesson is recreationally based with games and competitions being organised. Some sports outside the curriculum/handbook may be included to allow the students even greater variety and enjoyment. A short course would involve a recap of essential skills taught in the 4th Year, revision of the rules/laws and game time. If it is a new sport it is expected that some time will be devoted to learning the new skills and understanding the rules. Sports outside the curriculum that could be considered are tchoukball, unihoc and pop lacrosse. Social, Moral, Spiritual & Cultural (SMSC) Within the subject there are many opportnuntiies to include element of SMSC and these should be a part of all teaching. Pupils should be presented with individual challenges during Physical Education but should also experience team situations where they have to work in co-operation with others. They must learn to understand the various codes of conduct associated with each activity and must abide by the rules of each particular sport. Pupils must be educated in the ethics of ‘fair play’ and should experience both ‘winning’ and ‘losing’. Sometimes this outcome will need to be created by the teacher. Pupils must also be presented with the purpose of many athletic activities and should understand the need to be fit and healthy. There should be an appreciation of health in a general sense. Pupils should be aware of physical well-being (physical fitness, posture, and muscle tone), social well-being (participation, friendship, teamwork etc.) and mental well-being (exercise reducing stress and relieving tension).

  • A Beginners Guide to WATER POLO
    A Beginners Guide To WATER POLO THE OBJECTIVE: The objective of water polo is to have your team put the round yellow ball into the large goal, while keeping the opposing team from doing the same in yours. A goal is scored when the entire ball crosses the goal line (the front vertical plane of the goal). THE GAME: A water polo game is broken up into 4 quarters each lasting 7 minutes of game time. Due to fouls, whistles, and goals, quarters can last upwards of 15 minutes. Each quarter begins with a sprint for the ball. The referee will blow the whistle to start the period and 1 player from each team will race to get the ball which is floating at mid pool. The winner of the sprint will control the ball to his team, which becomes the offense, who then go on to set up their offense in an attempt to score. The offense has a 35­second shot clock to attempt to score. During that time, Referees will call "Ordinary Fouls" and "Exclusion Fouls" against the players in the water for rule violations. The game continues in motion, until a goal is scored. After a goal is scored, both teams return to their defending sides of the pool, and the team that gets scored on takes control of the ball from center pool at the referees command. THE TEAMS: Two teams compete in a match. One team will wear a dark colored cap (normally blue) while the other will wear a light colored cap (normally white).
