PE ASSESSMENT @ GROVE Grove has been working extremely hard in improving children’s attitudes towards health and fitness through active PE lessons and after school clubs.

To assess fitness, all children have completed 20m bleep tests throughout the year to track fitness progression. To reach an “above average” (“good”) level of fitness, children are required to achieve level 4.4 - 5.8 for boys and 4.1 - 5.5 for girls.

In terms of results, 43% of the children at Grove have scored an “above average” (“good”) level of fitness or better.

Grove remains committed to promote healthy and active lifestyles within school.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLES @ GROVE During October 2018, Grove launched it’s “Heathy Lifestyles Week” with the aim of promoting healthy and active lifestyles.

The children took part in a range of engaging lessons, workshops and competitions to develop their knowledge about the short-term and long-term benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle and impact that a balanced and active habits Approxmiately,1945 can have portions of fruit and on us all. vegetables were brought in by children for a healthy Well done to 6AB who snack choice! That’s around consumed 121 per class and nearly 4 the most extra portions per child!

THE POWER OF PE: A HOLISTIC APPROACH Next year, at Grove Academy, we aim to significantly improve our assessment system by using a more reliable, holistic approach to assessment.

Through the use of the “Power of PE Scheme”, children will be assessed more accurately and thoroughly through all aspects of the Physical Educational curriculum.

Throughout the academic year, the activities delivered by the “Power of PE Scheme” will allow children to develop their skills in all of the relevant P.E Outcomes, ensuring children of all abilities have the opportunity to reach an expected level of performance.

Each pupil has four cells per outcome. These cells will produce a more accurate indication of child progress in PE across the academic year.

One cell is filled. This objective is referred to as ‘Emerging’.

Two cells are filled. This objective is referred to as ‘Expected’.

Three cells are filled. This objective is referred to as ‘Exceeding.

Four cells are filled. This objective is referred to as ‘Exceptional’.

Tracking progress like this is useful to staff to inform when a pupil has made “expected standard” against a particular PE outcome.

Exceeding in PE at Grove.

THE POWER OF PE SCHEME With the support of the Power of PE Scheme, well-planned and engaging lessons will undoubtedly improve both the teaching and learning of Physical Education at Grove next year.

There are a vast range of diverse lessons, across all areas of the curriculum, available for teachers to deliver. All lessons are planned systemically to develop and build upon previous skills in order to maximise levels of progress for all children.

This scheme has been trialled over the summer term – it has been well received by children and increased teacher confidence in delivering PE significantly.

Cricket Year 5- Lesson 1 Learning Objectives: L.O 1 – Develop children’s co-ordination & ability to field effectively L.O 2 – Develop children’s ability to hold & use that bat effectively

Numeracy in P.E! -

Challenge 1 – Can children list two teaching points of the skills developed in this lesson?

Challenge 2 – Can children utilise this K+U to use the skills with success?

Challenge 3 – Can children use K+ U to suggest way their peers can improve?

Literacy in P.E! -

Inspiration in P.E! -

SoW Milestone Focus: 4 (Display an understanding of fair play, working well with others and leading a medium sized group). 5 (Field, defend and attack tactically by anticipating the direction of play). 6 (Utilise new skills in competitive situations, as an individual or part of a team).

1.Warm-up – Pupils start jogging around the playing area avoiding each other & listening, when the teacher calls out “CATCH!” all of the children stand still and hold their hands in their ‘catch’ position (see overleaf). If the teacher calls out “How is he?” then children should throw their hands in the air & shout “HOWZAT?!” STRETCH. Repeat.

2. In Pairs (Long Barrier/Short Barrier) – Demonstrate to the children the techniques of the short barrier and the long barrier. In pairs the children are to experiment with this technique. Ask M/A children to complete the skill from further away and at a faster speed. PROGRESSION – Set a time limit, how many times can you roll the ball to each other in 1 minute?! Go! 3. Throwing at the stumps – Organise the class into groups of 4/5 lining up single file behind a cone facing the stumps. Pupils take it turns

throwing the ball hard at the stumps. Mark out zones each side of the stumps so all learners can access some form of success. M/A Further away from target, smaller targets. L/A Closer, larger targets.

4. Protect the stumps – For this activity split the class into 4/5 groups. Mark out a circle of cones (as many as there are children in that group). Place a set of stumps in the middle of that circle. One child opposite the stumps takes the role of the bowler, they bowl under-arm aiming to make the ball bounce once and hit the stumps. Once child takes the role of the batter and aims to stop the ball hitting the stumps. Rotate positions every 6 balls!

Cricket Year 5- Lesson 1 Teaching Points – Stopping the ball When stopping/catching it is Important that the children place their hands close Together. Fingers apart and outstretched, soft hands.

Teaching Points – Long barrier Lower left leg parallel and close to floor, Right foot touching left knee so there Is no gap, Hands out in front to stop ball

Teaching Points – Short barrier

ourselves in providing with a

From drama and theatre workshops to archery or glow sports, we made a huge effort to provide the BEST experiences for our children at Grove, where there has been something for EVERYONE.

EXTRA-CURRICULAR CLUBS @ GROVE During the summer term, Grove saw an incredible 146 children take part in extra-curricular clubs including: - Drama

- Book club - Gymnastics - Football - Guitar - Sign language - Taekwondo - Alternative Sports - Multi-sports - Choir

Of the 146 children who attended these clubs, 42% were pupil premium, which reiterates Grove’s approach to providing enriching, inclusive opportunities to ALL groups of pupils.

SPORTS COMPETITION Grove continues to be part of the Hanley Schools Sports Association to encourage and provide the opportunity for children to compete in competitive sport against other schools.

Our Y5 and Y6 boys finished a respectable 4/12 in the Hanley Schools’ Football League, taking just one defeat. A combination of girls from Years 3-6 (pictured right) produced a wonderful performance in the Stoke-on-Trent Dance Extravaganza at the Victoria Hall, with over 20 other schools.

Next Year, Grove aims to significantly increase the amount of competitions in which we participate.

GROVE ACADEMY SPORTS DAY 2019 Hosted again at the high-class facility of Northwood Stadium, our sports days this year were a great success, with every pupil taking part in at least 2 athletics events. For the first time, Years 3/4 and Years 5/6 were split over different days to maximise stadium space and provide our parents and spectators with the comfort and atmosphere of sitting in the stands.

Every class were placed into a coloured team : red, yellow, green and blue. To encourage team work, each coloured team worked together across Years 3/4 and 5/6. At the end of the event, all the points were added up for each colour to find the team winner.

All children did exceptionally well, showed great team work and continuous enthusiasm throughout the whole event, which was attended by the Lord Mayor herself! She even performed in our egg and spoon parent race! Thank you to all that supported us in what was a fantastic day!

BIKEABILITY

This year, we continued with our Bikeability training. 28 Y4 pupils completing Level 1 cyclist training and 32 Y5 pupils completing their Level 2 training. As well as making the children more confident, children also had the opportunity to: Level 1: • Start, pedal and stop with control, • Pedal using the correct gears , • Keep control of the bike whilst looking around, • Ride safely around pedestrians.

Level 2: • Prepare for safe road cycling, • Start and finish an on road journey safely, • Recognise typical hazards, • Know where to ride on the road and do this safely, • Pass parked vehicles on side roads.

SWIMMING @ GROVE

Swimming sessions continued at Fenton Manor Sports Complex as Grove continues the journey to improve the amount of children who:

- Perform safe self-rescue in different water based situations.

- Swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres.

- Use a range of strokes effectively, for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke.

The Academy successfully took a different approach to swimming this year with an increase of the concentration and regularity of swimming sessions for Year 5. This was to give children a more intense swimming experience, providing them with the best chance possible to become self-sufficient swimmers at 25m and beyond.

ACTIVE FAMILIES Active Families has been trialled successful by our ESPRIT MAT partner schools (Hamilton Academy and Northwood Broom Academy) and Grove saw a small number of families also participate in the programme.

The programme is aimed at local Stoke-on-Trent families to provide support and advice to make healthier lifestyle choices. Families are guided through informative and practical sessions that include activities about food labelling, menu planning, and multi-sport activities for both children and adults.

Active Families is delivered by qualified, friendly and supportive staff, whom families will have the opportunity to share experiences, ask questions and discuss options to encourage and make healthier family choices about eating well and living sustainably healthy lives.

Grove aim to significantly increase the number of families taking part in this next year.
