Physical Education (PE)
PE lessons at Berger are fun, vibrant and inclusive. Children learn and develop both the techniques and tactics they need to enjoy and excel at a wide range of sports and physical activity as well as the importance of having a healthy lifestyle. Through PE our children enhance transferable skills such as communication, teamwork and leadership which helps them to succeed beyond their PE lessons. While our curriculum builds upon sports, which the children are familiar with. It also develops their sporting cultural capital by ensuring they experience and appreciate sports which are often new to them and their families such as rugby, gymnastics and netball.
Dance
Berger’s Dance curriculum intends that children are safe and cared for as well as providing them with a time of fun and enjoyment. Dance topics link with the enquiry topics in the wider curriculum allowing children a different and creative ‘way in’ to the subjects they are learning about. Our Dance curriculum not only intends to develop students’ ability to dance and develop their fitness but also aid them to become enthusiastic learners, with the ability to question, argue and reason. We also have a focus on developing mental skills such as teamwork, confidence, critical thinking and problem solving.
Berger Daily Mile
Each day children and adults at Berger come together to enjoy running or walking a mile around the school grounds. This has not only helps to improve our cardiovascular fitness and stamina but also develops children’s concentration and resilience in a fun and active way.
Competitions
At Berger we see children to enjoying and learning from competitive sport as being both a key aspect of our PE curriculum and an ideal opportunity to further challenge high attaining children. We are committed to giving our children opportunities to represent their school, and where successful it may also include their borough, as wide a range of sports are available. Crucially children representing our school uphold our values of being caring and resilient competitors.
