Suggested Learning Experiences
COVID Support - Education Scotland have highlighted physical education as a critical learning opportunity for pupils as they heal, re-connect, and adapt on their return to school. To support schools with these considerations and others, they have released specific guidelines designed to assist with the planning, decision-making and the safe implementation of curricular physical education.
Large Space
- Use different parts of their body to explore the space around them and to move using simple actions eg. walking, running, hopping.
- Explore different movements in response to a variety of stimuli eg, whistle, clap, music, voice.
- Practice moving at different speeds, directions and levels both independently and in small groups.
- Select, set up apparatus/equipment for a simple group activity, with support.
- Provide opportunities for children to work independently and take simple risks eg, outdoor learning - make their own assault course.

Small Space
