__Year 8, Autumn Term__

__Y7: End of year review.__ P.E has been OK but it will be better next year because there will be more opportunities and a wider variety of sports and more teams. There will be boxing, there might be mountain biking, basket ball teams and some others.

__Y1, T2 and T3 summary:__ We have played a bit of tennis, footie, cricket and sprinting races which involved running a lap and finnishing at a certain time.

In P.E we have done swimming and have played Football matches. I am a member of the school Rugby team. We have visited the Sale Sharks stadium to watch a top-flight match. In swimming we have done front crawl, breast stroke, back stroke and the butterfly stroke, which was quite easy.

 * Liverpool's national exemplar in whole brain learning**

Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School is a Specialist Sports College in Liverpool. They have recently developed a range of what they call whole brain learning initiatives for PE and are enthusiast for the accelerated learning model. Cath Daley, Advanced Skills Teacher listed some of the changes for us: · Widespread use of video for review · Self and peer group review and assessment · Positive language and esteem boards used in all lessons · Lots of chunking of content within lessons · Schemes of work audited for VAK · Video used to demonstrate AL concepts: questioning, reviewing, big picture, connecting · PE Department to act as ‘leading lights’ The work at Cardinal Heenan is to be part of a national case study and will be presented at the National Sports College Conference
