In Year 8 students will follow a similar curriculum in terms of activities to year 7. However, the challenge will be ramped up. You will be expected to have gained a lot of the basic movements for the activities in year 7. You will now be asked to think more for yourselves in small sided games and develop your own tactics and opinions on how you and your team mates perform at best levels. The teaching style becomes more discovery style and students start to take the lead in lessons.
You will also start to be assessed on leadership skills as we expect you to start learning how to teach each other and suggest new tactics/ways to solve problems to the rest of your peers.
You should still know how well you performing and receive feedback from the teacher on how to improve to the next stage. We want you all to start practicing your favourite sports outside of school more often.
By the end of year 8 you will decide whether you want to pursue P.E at GCSE level.
