Due to a variety of sports being offered, a high percentage of children also attend Out of School Hours Learning (OSHL) clubs which increases their participation in sport to 3 hours (or more) each week.<br \/>\n<a href=\"#top\">top<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #422874;\"><b id=\"New\">The Curriculum<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/strong>As the PE curriculum makes a change towards promoting both intra and inter school competition, it brings a\u00a0change to how the school curriculum is taught, with teachers teaching &#8216;sports&#8217; at a level 2 competition standard. This will enable whole classes or larger groups of children to participate in these competitions including Tag rugby, Quick Sticks Hockey, High 5s (netball) and many more.<\/p>\n<p>With our curriculum now in place, recommendations have been made for each year group so that sports are not repeated several times and offer the children a broad range of sports. At Mayfield we believe that children should be taught skills that are transferable including passing, throwing, fielding and many more. \u00a0Dance and gymnastics units are still expected to be taught but the teachers are now able to be more creative and flexible about the content of the units, linking them to topics in class.<\/p>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table border=\"1\" width=\"1010\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"50\"><\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"160\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Autumn 1<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"160\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Autumn 2<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"160\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Spring 1<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"160\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Spring 2<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"160\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Summer 1<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\" valign=\"top\" width=\"160\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Summer 2<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"50\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Indoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Outdoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Indoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Outdoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Indoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Outdoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Indoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Outdoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Indoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Outdoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Indoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">\n<p align=\"center\"><b>Outdoor<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"50\"><b>FS<\/b><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"50\"><b>Y1<\/b><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Gymnastics: body parts<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Team building games<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Performance slot<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Ball skills:\u00a0 throwing and catching<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Gymnastics: wide, narrow, curled<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Ball skills:\u00a0 invasion games<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Dance: The Zoo<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Multi skills:\u00a0 attacking and defending<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"80\">Health &amp;
