Fascinating Fact:

Hydration matters in any weather, not only when it is hot. Drinking water before and after activity helps your body recover.

In KS2 Physical Education, pupils learn to stay safe while being active by following rules, using equipment correctly, and making good decisions. Health and safety includes warming up, checking spaces for hazards, working responsibly with others, and knowing when to stop and get help.

Key Terms

Warm-up: Gentle movement at the start of a session that raises your heart rate and prepares muscles and joints for activity.
Hazard: Something that could cause harm, such as a wet floor, loose equipment, or a ball left in a walkway.
First aid: Simple, immediate help given to someone who is hurt or unwell until an adult or medical professional can take over.
