PDST - Primary Physical Education

The third and final phase of these seminars will take place this February. Participants will revise the concept of physical literacy, paying particular attention to the locomotor and stability skills explored in seminars 1 and 2. Seminar 3 will focus on manipulative skills, through the Games strand of the curriculum. The wide range of activities, supplementary support materials and templates for planning and assessment that are presented in our comprehensive resource and online at www.scoilnet.ie/pdst/physlit , will also be explored on the day. The purpose of the seminar is to ● demonstrate the PDST’s Move Well, Move Often Physical Literacy resource pack through active participation ● upskill participants in using Fundamental Movement Skills as a lens for developing Physical Literacy through the PE curriculum ● enable participants to support other teachers in their school using the PDST Physical Literacy resource pack Attendees will need to be suitably dressed to participate in activities.
