Medium Term Plan - Invasion Games - Year 5

The Year 5 medium-term plan for Invasion Games in PE focuses on developing essential skills such as sending, receiving, striking, and travelling with a ball across six lessons. The intent is for students to grasp strategies to outwit opponents, make informed decisions in games, and understand the impact of exercise on health and teamwork. Knowledge areas include the initiation of techniques in diverse contexts, application of game rules, and cooperative strategies. Skills honed during the course include running, jumping, passing, dribbling, shooting, control, and teamwork. The sequence of learning builds from basic attack principles to the replication of techniques in competitive games, employing simple tactics and physical collaboration.

The curriculum's key concepts involve outwitting opponents, developing physical and mental capacity, accurately replicating skills, decision-making, and personal development. These are reinforced through practical activities like warm-ups, drills, and small-sided games, which also promote British Values such as respect and tolerance. Cross-curricular links extend to literacy, numeracy, and PSHE. By the end of the program, students are expected to show varying levels of skill development, from receiving and dribbling to executing passes under pressure and leading warm-ups. The scheme of work covers games like Netball, Basketball, and Uni-Hockey, with the implementation structured in weekly objectives and tasks, culminating in a mini multi-sport tournament to assess pupil progress.
