USING MATERIALS, TECHNIQUES, SKILLS AND MEDIA





Investigat
-ing
and developing fitness



Show an ability to engage in physical activity which raises the heart rate;

be able to say how the body feels after such an activity.



Sustain energetic activity for a period of time;

know and describe some of the obvious effects of exercise on the body.


Show some ability to sustain energetic activity for longer periods of time;

know and describe in basic terms some of the effects of exercise on the body.



Demonstrate stamina, strength and flexibility appropriate to the level of physical development; know own limits in participation;

show knowledge and understanding of the effects of exercise on the body.



Maintain and extend personal exercise habits;

show awareness of the relationship between exercise and physical well-being;

monitor, over a period of time, the effects of exercise on fitness.



Using the body


Perform a range of single actions, such as running, stretching and balancing, with some control of body weight;

be able to share space when performing actions.



Begin to combine and link actions together;

develop control of the body and increasing skill through better understanding of force, speed and space.



Link actions together with increased fluency;

demonstrate increased control of the body and ability in refining movement skills within defined working spaces.



Demonstrate increased knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of movement through an improved repertoire of movement skills;

show awareness of direction, level and pathway.



Consolidate and extend quality and knowledge and understanding of movement skills in a wider range of activities;

show control of direction, level and pathway.



Applying skills



Use single actions or a series of single actions appropriate to simple given tasks;

recall and repeat with some accuracy single actions or a series of single actions.



Repeat appropriately a range of movement skills in response to simple given tasks, eg. moving along a piece of apparatus, jumping and landing safely.



Use knowledge and understanding to apply skills with control and accuracy in predictable situations, eg. a dance or a game.


Use movement skills in a wider range of contexts and be able to adapt these skills effectively in predicable situations, eg. low hill walking.


Demonstrate independence, knowledge and understanding and practical ability in different forms of physical activity;

show an ability to adapt quickly and effectively to unforeseen or swiftly changing situations, eg. a simulated water rescue.



EXPRESSING
FEELINGS, IDEAS, THOUGHTS AND SOLUTIONS


Creating
and designing



Express own ideas in movement;

select and organise appropriate responses to simple given tasks;

show simple structuring in starting and finishing.



Express ideas and feelings through simple sequences of movements;

develop very simply one idea in response to a given task or as part of solving a simple problem.


Express ideas and feelings through more complex sequences of movements;

demonstrate a range of responses to structured tasks;

understand and use some features of different forms of physical activity in planning solutions, eg. inventing a simple game.



Create a structured response in movement to ideas, thoughts and feelings, eg. as part of a small group creating a section of a dance;

identify problems and effect solutions to set tasks, eg. suggest tactics in a team game.



Use repertoire of movement skills to create personal and group responses and to devise more complex and extended solutions to problems or tasks, including those identified by pupils themselves.


Co-operating, sharing, communicat
-ing
and competing



Co-operate with others in sharing space and equipment;

show their movement ideas to others and respond to simple movement signals given by others.



Share ideas and work co-operatively, with a partner and in small groups to fulfil tasks;

show movement ideas to others and respond to simple signals given by others;

participate in simple competitive situations.



Co-operate and compete in small groups where a degree of individual responsibility is required;

show work that has been produced with others;

respond to signals given by others in a variety of simple contexts.



In co-operative and competitive situations, share responsibility for tasks (in both leading and supporting roles);

show structured work devised with others;

continue to develop speed and some subtlety in giving and responding to signals in a range of simple contexts.



In co-operative and competitive situations, assume a range of roles effectively and take some responsibility for aspects of own learning;

prepare and perform work for others, outwith the class;

continue to develop speed and subtlety in giving and reading signals in a wide range of more complex contexts.



EVALUATING
AND APPRECIATING


Observing, reflecting, describing and responding



Observe simple actions, describe some features of these and offer some personal response at a simple level.



Using given criteria, observe and describe simple activities, including own work, and give a personal response.



Observe, reflect upon and describe the performance of self and peers, against specific given criteria;

offer evaluative comment and suggest ways of improving skills.



Observe, reflect upon and describe the performance of self and peers, making reference to criteria;

share opinions and accept constructive criticism from peers.



Observe closely, identify and comment upon key elements in performances;

monitor and adjust personal performance against given criteria, recognising own strengths and development needs.
