PE at Hatfield Peverel Infant and Nursery School

 

A variety of children enjoyed attending a Multisport Event organised by SCS Sports Coaches.

The children were very fortunate to have a visit from an Olympic athlete. Alice Sharpe, an Olympic cyclist led an assembly before doing some circuit training with the children. She encouraged all the children to try their best and not give up. It was a sponsored event raising money for ‘Great Athletes’ and our school. We raised approximately £1500 to spend on new PE equipment. She was an inspiration to the children.

Our annual sports day is always a popular event. Children compete in their coloured ERIC teams to gain points. Whilst parents and carers cheer them all on, the children take part in a variety of activities including egg and spoon race, hurdles and javelin.

At Hatfield Peverel Infants and Nursery School, we believe in inspiring every child through a high-quality physical education curriculum. Our children will develop confidence and competence in key movement skills, helping them to move with control, coordination, and enjoyment. They will learn to work both independently and with others, exploring a range of physical activities including games, dance, and simple competitive sports. Through fun and engaging experiences, children will build their agility, balance, and coordination, while also learning the value of staying active and healthy. We aim to nurture a lifelong love of movement and wellbeing in every child.

My name is Mrs Ashley and I am the Subject Lead for Physical Education. I am passionate about promoting healthy, active lifestyles and helping children discover a love of sport and physical activity. I believe that PE plays a vital role in developing not only physical skills, but also confidence, teamwork, resilience and determination.
Having studied Physical Education for four years at University, I appreciate the importance of movement, expression and performance, and I enjoy bringing energy and enthusiasm to PE lessons. I love encouraging children to challenge themselves, try new activities and celebrate their achievements, whether they are developing fundamental movement skills, participating in team sports or competing in events.
One of the most rewarding parts of leading PE is seeing children grow in confidence and realise what they are capable of achieving. There is nothing better than watching a child persevere with a skill they find challenging and then experience the pride of success. I am committed to creating opportunities for every child to enjoy being active, develop positive attitudes towards physical activity and build healthy habits that will stay with them throughout their lives.
