P.E.

Y4 sat 2 Our aim for Physical Education (P.E.) at Mulgrave is to create happy, healthy and active students. We want to give students an opportunity to try a wide range of physical activities so they have a positive experience of P.E., which can carry on to a love of being active as adults. P.E. develops the children’s knowledge, skills and understanding, so that they can perform with increasing competence and confidence in activities. It promotes an understanding in children of their bodies in action. It involves thinking, selecting and applying skills, and promotes positive attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle. Thus, we enable the children to make informed choices about physical activity throughout their lives.
