Fascinating Fact:

Warming up before fast exercise helps your body get ready. Cooling down helps your body slow down safely.

In KS1 PSHE, pupils learn that moving their bodies supports health and wellbeing. Exercise can include running, dancing, skipping, swimming, or active play. Children also learn to be safe, wear the right clothes and shoes, drink water, and stop if something hurts or feels wrong.

Key Terms

  • Warm up: Gentle movement at the start to help your muscles get ready.
  • Cool down: Slower movement at the end to help your breathing and heartbeat settle.
  • Safe space: An area with enough room to move without bumping into people or objects.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is exercise for KS1?

Exercise is moving your body to stay healthy, like walking, running, dancing, or playing outside. It helps your heart, muscles, and mood.

Why do we need to warm up before exercise?

A warm up helps your body get ready for faster movement. It can help your muscles loosen and may make exercise feel easier and safer.

What should I do if I feel pain when exercising?

Stop straight away and tell a trusted adult. Pain can be a sign your body needs rest, a drink, or help from an adult to check you are OK.
