Guest Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 hi. we are a primary school with 2 reception classes and a full time nursery. We currently each have 1 hall slot plus 1 outdoor gross motor session as well as outdoor continuous provision. our P.E co -ordinator says this is not enough. Can other schools tell us what they do please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 What else does she want you to do and why? Personally, I would have thought that was ok but there is probably a time quota that you need to fill! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 she says we need to do two hours p.e per week and continouous provision does not count!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KST Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 I would argue that continuous provision does count and I have heard of school not offering any formal PE lessons. I still do 2 PE a week to ensure that all children access physical activity as some children (only a very few) don't really run around much or engage in the active continuous provision. I would strongly argue that this is more than adequate whn adult led time is so prescious and limited in EYFS. x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 2 hrs is completely unrealistic for everyone! Some thoughts as KST says are that PE does not need to be a formal activity in EY. What support can you get from your Advisory teacher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Our EY class has one main PE session a week and physical activity during continous provision and according to the advisory teacher and the PE coordinater (who teaches it) that is perfectly adequate.

katekit Posted July 1, 2010 Share Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) hi. we are a primary school with 2 reception classes and a full time nursery.We currently each have 1 hall slot plus 1 outdoor gross motor session as well as outdoor continuous provision. our P.E co -ordinator says this is not enough. Can other schools tell us what they do please?! We are nursery and we have two hall sessions each week and so does our reception class, we also go to wake up shake up 3 times a week which is an aerobics type of activity with the whole school. We have a new 'climbing frame/activity centre' and tyres which is for the whole school and we can go on there whenever we like, and of course we do all our 'normal' type of activities as well. We can also go out on the field whenever we please. We do not always take our hall sessions, but the children love dancing so may do extra sessions in the class - usually at 'lunch time' so that the reception children can join in if they want.

What support can you get from your Advisory teacher? Not much!!!! Thanks for all your replies, feel a little more confident preparing to defend our provision!!!
