Physical Education and Development – Movement and Physical Activity is a photocopiable resource designed to support the teaching and learning of physical education and development. There are no pupil pages in this book; all the pages are for teachers and teaching assistants who may be requested to set up physical education activities. Written predominantly in games-plan format for teachers, this resource provides activity objectives; background information; discussion points; and resource suggestions relating to the fundamental movement skill, sport or game. Differentiation to cater for different pupil abilities or for extension are included in some activities. It is expected that teachers will use their knowledge of their pupils to adapt games and activities where necessary. Teachers are expected to adhere to proper safety precautions at all times when using any of the physical activities suggested. An increasing number of schools employ specialist teachers of physical education. For this reason, this book is aimed at the classroom teacher who teaches physical education and requires support and/or additional activity suggestions. This certainly does not preclude specialist teachers from using any of the lesson plans and activity ideas. Each unit of this book follows the same format. A teacher page precedes a number of activities, games or ideas for pupils that support the teaching of a skill, idea, game or strategy. The aim of this book is to provide opportunities for young pupils to be active; to develop coordination, control and movement; to understand the importance of physical activity; and to promote enjoyment of, and positive attitudes towards, physical education and activity.
