Objectives

PE

  • Play competitive games, modified where appropriate, (e.g. badminton, basketball, cricket, football, hockey, netball, rounders and tennis), and apply basic principles suitable for attacking and defending.

PSHE

  • Deepen their understanding of risk by recognising, predicting and assessing risks in different situations and deciding how to manage them responsibly, (including sensible road use and risks in their local environment), and to use this as an opportunity to build resilience.

Lesson Planning

Football has changed a lot over the years. Work in teams to devise your own version of football, assess the risks, and then try them out with the whole class. Decide which one was most fun, and whether any changes are needed to make them work better.

Teaching Outcomes:

  • To devise a modified game of football and play it.
  • To assess the risks of the rules of their football game.

  • Predict the risks of a competitive game.
