What do you think about PE in our School?

• I enjoy P.E. because I love being active and learning new sports.
• I love P.E. in our school because I get to improve lots of skills like catching, throwing and using them in a game.
• I can’t wait to go on the outdoor adventurous trips next year if we can. I was so sad that we couldn’t go to PGL this year. It looks so fun.

What do you like?

• I loved doing yoga as it really made me focus, relax and calm down.
• I love doing lots of different sports and in our school we get taught a variety of different sports.
• I really loved netball before Christmas, as it is a really good team sport. I loved it when we put our skills together in the games.
• I really enjoyed playing against other people in our class in netball because we got to work as a team.
• I loved working as a class team in the SFDS Olympic games because it was a mixture a sports we have learnt throughout the year. We practiced really hard and our class won the prize. I liked that every member of our class took pride in the Olympics and contributed to the final score.
• I love doing the warm ups as we work on things from the previous lesson that needed to be improved.
• I like that in P.E. I get feedback straight away. I like this because we can notice our mistakes and fix them straight away.  

What do you think could be improved?

• I know we used to do golf in school. Would we be able to do afterschool golf next year?
• Could we have a few more sporting clubs please?
• Would we be able to have football in P.E. please?

What do you think about PE in our School?

• I think it is good because we get to do a variety of sports especially ones that I have never played before. I love learning about different sports.
• I love P.E. in our school because we get to do adventurous, outdoor activities like PGL. We loved it.
• I love P.E. because it encourages us to lead a fit and health lifestyle in and outside of school.
• I am looking forward to Year 5 because we get to go mountain biking in the forest.
• When someone says we are doing P.E. I get really excited as it makes me feel great all day.

What do you like?

• I loved playing volleyball as it was a sport I have never played before or really seen. It was a challenging experience but the more we played and listened the better we got.
• I now play volleyball at home with my dad in the garden. I love that I can show my dad things we are doing in school and practice it with him. I am better than him too.
• I loved doing the P.E. in lockdown! I used to do it in the living room with my brother.
• I loved the Google classroom P.E. because during lockdown I was fed up, bored and no motivated at all. P.E. got me up, ready and happy to start the day. My whole family used to do it with me.
• I play cricket outside of school and rounders has really helped me with improving my accuracy when throwing and when hitting the ball.
• I loved the SFDS Olympic Games!
• I love gymnastics as I do it outside of school and it made me feel really good about myself because I was one of the best in the class.
• I really enjoyed learning how to jump over the hurdles properly to improve my speed when doing it. It was very challenging and everyone in the challenged to their own level.

What do you think could be improved?

• I love doing P.E. in the morning because it gives us a positive start to the day. Would we be able to share the morning slots with the other classes so we get to do it first?
• I would like to spend more time doing athletics if possible as I really enjoyed the challenge of learning how to do different events.
• I would love to do cricket.
• Can we also do football in lessons please so we can get better for our lunchtime matches.

What do you think about PE in our School?

• It’s fun because we have a nice time and enjoy exercising and learning new sports
• It’s challenging because we are pushed to achieve our potential as individuals.
• It’s also competitive especially when we compete against children close to our own ability. 

What do you like?

• I like cricket this year as it is a sport that I have never really played but now I think it is a sport I will try and play more especially as I get older.
• I enjoyed the challenge of learning how to do different balances in gymnastics as I thought it would be easy but it really wasn’t.
• I really enjoyed learning how to do triple jump in athletics but it was really hard, as I had to learn multiple steps to get to become successful at it.
• I loved netball this year as it has improved my decision-making. I now make decisions quicker and feel mentally tired and physically tired at the end of a game. This has helped me a lot in football, which I play outside of school.
• I love that we have 2 lessons a week.
• I really enjoyed playing in all the different teams against other schools

What do you think could be improved?

• I would like to do football in school next year to see if we can improve on our results against other schools.
• Could we have an athletics team again?
• Would we be able to have more cricket rather than tennis?
• Could we have a few more awards in PE at the end of the year?

What do you think about PE in our School?

• I love that in our school we get to participate in lots of different sports.
• I am not the best at P.E. and I was never confident at it but I love that the teachers recognise this and they have really helped me improve. I now look forward to P.E. Before coming to this school I used to hate P.E.
• The school doesn’t just do the normal sports that my friends do in other schools. We focus on sports that you might not normally do.
• P.E. has really helped me with myself confidence. I am slightly worried about it in secondary school but I just keep thinking the teachers in our school have really helped me and I will use what they have taught me to get help me in secondary.
• I love that we get to do lots of P.E. trips in our school especially our school sports day in Liverpool John Moores University. I love going there as it also shows you what it would be like to be a sports student in university.
• I want to become a P.E. teacher when I am older as Mr Gow has really given me the confidence and aspirations to achieve this. I know I will need to go to university.
• I like getting feedback straight away. It has really helped me with my technique in lots of sports as I can improve there and then.  

What do you like?

• I have really enjoyed that there is a change of topic. We have indoor lesson and outdoor lessons.
• I loved gymnastics, as I was able to achieve at my own level and show an improvement. There were lost of people who were better than me but I didn’t care as I had confidence from all the previous years.
• I love that we get formative 5 at the beginning of the lesson but I also love that in P.E. we get instant feedback on the spot.
• I have loved that we got to go swimming this year. This is a sport that I really want to improve. I have asked my mum if she will take me so I can continue to improve.
• I love taking part in the competitive sporting events and trying to win medals for the school. It’s always challenging for me as there are lots of really good athletes in the city but I am always confident because of our P.E. teachers
• I love that we get to revisit different topics as it is like what we do in history and geography etc. because we are able to try and improve upon our previous skills learnt. This links in with the mastery topic that we do at the end of the school year in other subjects.
• I like that the teachers are always positive and challenge us to achieve our best. 

What do you think could be improved?

• Even though we are leaving we think it would be good to do football next year as we play in on the yard all the time and a lot of children are not very good.
• Would we be able to link in with secondary schools so that when we go there it is an easier transition? I would like this, as it is something that I am a little worried about.
