KS1 Multiskill Competition The new National Curriculum for PE places a renewed emphasis on competitive sport. The KS1 Multiskill Festival has been designed to align with the new national curriculum, and places a focus on personal best during competition. The KS1 Multiskill Festival has been based on a model designed by Create Development and adopts some of the REAL PE principles. The competition spectrum promotes healthy competition through a progressive delivery and participation approach. We believe that if we develop a competition culture focusing on personal best rather than competing against others, pupils will achieve success at an earlier age. Using their early social and emotional experiences of success as a foundation, we will be better placed to progressively develop their ability to engage in a variety of competition scenarios and learn to socially and emotionally cope with success and failure. Competition Format & Delivery Year Groups: Year 1 and Year 2 Team Size: 10 pupils per team teams can be made up of a combination of Year 1 and Year 2 pupils Gender Ratio: 5 Boys & 5 Girls Competition Stations 1) River Crossing 2) Grand Prix Qualifying 3) On the Mat 5) The Never Ending Relay Race 6) Monkey Munch 7) Clowning Around 8) Popping Pirates 4) Super Hero Challenge Rest Stations can be added into your rotation of Competition Stations if they are required. At these stations you could give the pupils literacy or numeracy challenges linked to PE and sport to generate a crosscurricular approach to the Festival. Competition Delivery Level 1 Competition (Intra School Competition): Schools deliver the KS1 Multiskill Competition on their own school site in their own time. It is possible to deliver the Multiskill Festival over a series of PE lessons or as a one off competition. Activities are suited in an indoor or outdoor environment. Level 2 Competition (Inter School Competition): This element of the competition is virtual. Schools will submit their results to their School Sport Manager who will identify the two highest placed teams. These two teams will go on to represent their School Sports Partnership at the Level 3 Sainsbury s School Games event. Level 3 Competition (County Finals): 10 teams from the 5 School Sports Partnerships will compete as per the Level 1 and Level 2 competition at the county event, again the results will reflect personal best and personal progression.

Once the pupil has thrown the correct number of objects they pass the dice to the person behind them. This sequence continues until the 2 minute competition period is over. 1 point is scored for every piece of equipment that lands on the mat On the Mat 6m 6m
Super Hero Challenge Equipment Flexi Cones; 5 x Red, 5 x Blue, 5 x Green, 5 x White, 5 x Yellow 6 Cones Pupils work in pairs to reach and place a cone in the furthest possible zone.

Their partner must stay behind the start line at all times but are allowed to hold, lift, support, counter balance their partner. A cone must be placed into a zone; any cones being thrown into a zone will be removed and not counted. Once a cone has been placed into a zone, the person placing the cone must return to their starting position behind the start line again without any part of their body (except hands) touching any of the zones. The pair then swap over.

Equipment 4 mats Two teams of 5 pupils. 3 pupils start on one mat whilst the other 2 pupils in the team start on the other mat the two groups face each other. The first pupil in the line of 3 runs across to the other mat where the first pupil in the line is sitting on their bottom with their toes touching the mat in a tucked position with their arms reaching out in front of them. The pupil running across has to link hands with the pupil sitting in the tucked position and pull that pupil up into a standing counter balance. Once in an upright position the pupil who was lifted into the counter-balance lowers the other pupil to the floor, and continues to run across to the opposite mat (mat where other half of their team are sitting) to repeat the sequence. The other pupil joins the back of the line. The lowering of a pupil to the floor is known as a Splash - this must take place on the mat. The sequence continues until the 2 minute competition period is over. 1 point scored for each successful Splash. 10m 2 m

They then pass the Monkey Munch (equipment) all the way around the circle until it gets back to where it started. Monkeys must have their feet off the ground to avoid them being eaten by the crocodiles. All pupils must lift their feet off the ground as soon as the Monkey Munch is returned to the group if any of the pupils feet touch the floor whilst the Monkey Munch is circling the group it must return to the start and go back round the circle. When the Monkey Munch gets successfully round the circle, the Monkey who picked up the Monkey Munch gets up and runs and puts the Monkey Munch in the other hoop.
