In Year 2, pupils apply the movement skills developed in Year 1 with greater purpose and intent. They begin to make simple decisions in game situations, develop more sustained gymnastic sequences, use dance to communicate ideas and stories, and engage in cooperative team activities. The focus remains on positive participation and enjoyment whilst introducing friendly competition.
Games
Pupils take part in simple cooperative and competitive games, developing an understanding of rules, fairness, and teamwork.
Pupils are introduced to the principles of invasion games through tag-based activities and small-sided games.
