NEA: Practical Activities BE AWARE We will not be covering all (or even most) of these activities, but a combination of the most appropriate If you choose an activity that is completed off-site, then audio visual evidence is required for all elements of the criteria There are a number of restrictions over the use of certain activities, for example: You cannot use the same activity as a team and an individual activity e.g. Tennis (doubles tennis and singles tennis) Some combinations of activities are not allowed e.g. Rhythmic Gymnastics and Dance Skiing and snowboarding CANNOT be on dry slopes
GCSE PE Lessons Theory Classroom based Linked to practical activities/learning Research, investigation, report/note writing, exam style questions Folder of work produced Preparation for the 2 written exams Practical Practical based Development of ability and aptitude in sporting activities Demonstration of appropriate skills, techniques, game play and understanding Practical will be video recorded for assessment/evidence Preparation for moderation visit
Things to consider If you are thinking about opting for GCSE PE, here are a few things you should be thinking over: Are you able to demonstrate a high level of performance in both practical lessons and the classroom? Are you prepared for all lessons, with the right equipment and kit? Are you open-minded to participate, and perform to a good standard, in a range of practical activities? Are you comfortable working, both in the classroom and in practical lessons, with a range of students? Is sport and physical activity something you are passionate about, show motivation towards, and want to improve in all aspects of? Do you attend school clubs and/or train and compete in sport/activities outside of school?
Things to consider (2) The allocated time to GCSE PE is split (certainly at the start of the course) evenly between theory and practical This is not just an additional opportunity for some more practical lessons (all students will have Core PE on their timetable) skills and techniques are broken down, practiced and repeated, as well as then being videoed You will need to be able to demonstrate an ability to work with all other students, as your performance can impact the performance of others Participation in sport/activities outside of school/lessons is expected This is a great subject for those that have a genuine interest in the areas behind PE, sport and physical activity, and could potentially see themselves being, and working, in this competitive environment!
