strokes effectively [for example, front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke] and be able to perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations. 7. Assessment, Monitoring and Recording All assessment should be part of normal teaching. On your planning sheet, note down any significant achievements or problems encountered by the children. This is your record of evidence. Give feedback to the children during and after the performance. Assessment may also include video recordings, discussing and listening to the children’s observations of their peers performances and assessment of their own work. Assessment will be on a continuous basis and children will be working towards appropriate year stages and recorded termly by each class teacher. 8. Health and Safety All teachers are always responsible for safety in their own lessons and should, therefore, manage their environment to ensure health and safety of themselves and others, particularly by always checking that equipment is secure. All children need to become increasingly aware of safety and should be taught the importance of good discipline throughout a PE lesson. The teacher needs to ensure that all children, at all times, are listening and understand instructions accurately. Teachers should ensure that the children set up and put away apparatus and equipment that they have used, carefully. The equipment should be stored in the appropriate, labelled place. It is the responsibility of the teacher to ensure that all children know how to lift and move apparatus safely. Teachers must make sure that every child has warmed up and cooled down properly. Teachers should also help their children notice how, when they play a game, their bodies become warmer and their heart beats faster. Children that require medication during a PE lesson e.g. an asthmatic, should be taught to take responsibility of their medication by remembering to take it when required and keep it close at hand. 9. Dress Children should change out of their school uniform, into more appropriate clothing that allows freedom of movement and is suitable to the activity. If children are expected to change, then a good example is set if the teacher changes too. Pupils should change quickly and quietly, in their classrooms, however, if privacy is required, both boys and girls should be allowed to change in the toilets.
