About the Product

Foreword: Len AlmondFilled with ready-to-use lesson plans and proven activity ideas, this book explains how to effectively and safely deliver the health-related exercise (HRE) component of the National Curriculum for England and Wales.

Experienced physical education teachers Jo Harris and Jill Elbourn have played a key role in the success of the health-related exercise movement in Britain. Their in-service courses and resource materials have helped teachers recognise the need for HRE and learn how to teach it. In Teaching Health-Related Exercise at Key Stages 1 and 2, they share a variety of ways in which HRE can be organised and delivered within the curriculum, enabling teachers to determine which methods of delivery are most appropriate for their pupils.

Teaching Health-Related Exercise at Key Stages 1 and 2 translates National Curriculum theory into practice and links its physical education and health education requirements. Covering everything from planning to assessment, this indispensable guide

• addresses safety considerations for children’s exercise;
• examines successful programmes that schools have adopted for promoting exercise among their pupils;
• presents ideas that use simple, readily available equipment;
• provides detailed lesson examples that address the key issues of progression, differentiation and assessment and
• describes 19 practical activities that can be incorporated into health-related PE lessons.

Comprehensive and easy to understand, this resource gives teachers everything they need to promote active lifestyles through the primary curriculum.
