Confidence & Creativity for Teaching Primary PE
Thursday 28th April 2016, 12:00 to15:30 ALF Green Park Centre
Aimed at primary teachers who have limited or no training during their ITT. It is a practical course which will cover the basic fundamental skills (running, hopping, throwing, catching, striking and balancing). These are the precursor to the more specialised, complex skills used in games, sports, dance, gymnastics, outdoor education and play. The course will cover warm up ideas which reinforce the fundamental skills, provided practices which can be used across man activities and key generic PE teaching points. The course will introduce you to S.T.E.P. as a way of organising and differentiating your PE lesson. Go back to school with lots of ideas for your lessons!
