Physical Education

The keynote of all physical education activities should be enjoyment and purpose. A balanced programme of physical education provides physical, mental, creative and social stimuli.  Children are taught simple competitive games, thus learning how to work together as a team. Gymnastics and Dance promote physical activity, co-ordination, poise and control. Safety awareness is an important part of all areas of Physical Education; children will learn to follow rules regarding procedure and appropriate use of various parts of the body. Throughout all areas, we aim to develop a positive attitude towards physical and recreational activities.  We also offer physical activities as extra curricular clubs including football, dance and Club Energy.

Information Technology

This is an exciting and highly motivating area of the curriculum. As well as developing ICT skills, we use computers to support other areas of the curriculum.  Each classroom is equipped with at least one PC computer and printer and an interactive whiteboard. Children's skills progression is also developed through the use of the school's ICT suite. The children learn that the computers can be used to help plan and organise ideas in written and graphical form. They will become familiar with computer hardware, learning the skills necessary to print, save and retrieve their work. They will experience talking word processors, databases, graphics and a variety of exciting information using CD ROMs.  The school is connected to the Internet and the children have experience of sending and receiving e-mail and of realising that the Internet is a source for finding information. Programmable machines are used to help develop work in control technology. Through this work children learn that they are able to give instructions to make things happen.  We are continually looking to utilise this technology for the benefit of our children.
