 PE  Overview  

 Yokohama  International  School  Physical  Education  

‘Fitness  is  for  Life’  

Physical  Education  at  the  Yokohama  International  School  provides  students  with  the  opportunity  to  participate  in  regular  challenging  physical  activity,  and  develop  an  understanding  of  fitness  for  life  and  the  benefits  of  a  balanced  healthy  lifestyle.  Skills,  concepts,  knowledge  and  attitudes  are  developed  through  progressive  practices  and  structured  games,  designed  to  ensure  maximum  participation  by  all.  The  PE  programme  also  contributes  to  a  student’s  personal  and  social  education,  providing  opportunities  for  co-­‐operation,  self-­‐reflection,  teamwork,  decision-­‐making  and  problem  solving.  

Aims  and  Objectives  of  the  Elementary  PE  Programme  

The  aim  of  the  PE  programme  at  YIS  is  to  develop  a  combination  of  transferable  skills  promoting  physical,  intellectual,  emotional  and  social  development,  and  to  encourage  present  and  future  choices  that  contribute  to  long-­‐term  healthy  living.  In  the  Elementary  years,  emphasis  is  placed  upon  the  development  of  physical  skills,  concepts,  knowledge  and  attitudes  through  modified  games  and  practices.  Students  are  encouraged  to  make  links  with  other  areas  of  the  curriculum,  and  PE  is  used  to  link  with  PYP  ‘units  of  inquiry’  and  ‘trans-­‐disciplinary  themes’.  The  development  of  a  student’s  wellbeing  is  implicitly  and  explicitly  addressed  through  6  areas  of  the  curriculum  underpinned  by  the  IBO  student  learner  profile.    

Primary  Years  Programme  Content-­‐  Students  in  Grades  K-­‐2  have  2  single  lessons  per  week,  while  students  in  Grades  3-­‐5  have  1  double  and  1  single  lesson  per  week.  Content  includes  games,  track  and  field,  adventure  challenge,  movement  composition,  health  related  fitness  and  fundamental  physical  skills.    

Assessment-­‐  a  variety  of  assessment  techniques  are  used  to  evaluate  student  development  in  PE,  such  as  video  analysis,  teacher  observation  and  peer  assessment.  Students  will  receive  two  narrative  and  performance  indicator  reports  a  year  (At  the  end  of  Semester  1  and  2).

Aims  and  Objectives  of  the  Grades  6-­‐8  PE  Programme  

The  aim  of  the  PE  programme  at  YIS  is  to  develop  a  combination  of  transferable  skills  promoting  physical,  intellectual,  emotional  and  social  development,  and  to  encourage  present  and  future  choices  that  contribute  to  long-­‐term  healthy  living.    

In  the  middle  years,  physical  education  builds  upon  the  foundations  of  physical  skills,  concepts,  knowledge  and  attitudes  laid  in  Elementary  PE.  More  emphasis  is  placed  upon  recognized  games/disciplines/sports,  and  students  are  also  introduced  to  a  more  competitive  arena  through  the  extra  curricular  athletics  programme.  The  development  of  a  student’s  wellbeing  is  implicitly  and  explicitly  addressed  through  a  variety  of  areas  of  the  curriculum  and  areas  of  interaction,  underpinned  by  the  IBO  student  learner  profile.  The  areas  of  interaction  provide  contexts  through  which  teachers  and  students  consider  teaching  and  learning,  approach  the  disciplines  and  establish  connections  across  disciplines.  The  five  areas  of  interaction  are:  

•   approaches  to  learning  (ATL)    •   community  and  service    •   health  and  social  education    •   environments  •   human  ingenuity.      Middle  Years  Programme  Content-­‐  Students  in  Grades  6-­‐8  have  2  double  periods  a  week.  Content  includes  outdoor  and  indoor  invasion  games,  movement  composition,  track  and  field,  net  games,  health  related  fitness  and  striking  and  fielding  games.    

Assessment-­‐  a  variety  of  assessment  techniques  are  used  to  evaluate  student  development  in  PE,  such  as  video  analysis,  teacher  observation  and  peer  assessment.  Students  will  be  assessed  twice  in  each  semester  in  each  of  the  following  MYP  assessment  criteria;

Aims  and  Objectives  of  the  Grade  11/12  PE  Programme  

PE  in  grades  11  and  12  is  designed  to  provide  an  outlet  to  the  rigours  of  the  academic  IB  curriculum.  Much  research  suggests  students  who  participate  in  regular  physical  activity  are  more  able  to  cope  with  anxiety  and  stress,  and  in  some  cases,  physical  activity  has  been  found  to  improve  academic  performance.  Students  are  given  the  opportunity  to  choose  a  variety  of  activities  such  as  soccer,  basketball,  pilates,  yoga  and  table  tennis.  Students  have  1  double  lesson  per  week.  Their  performance  is  not  assessed  but  attendance  is  mandatory  to  achieve  a  pass  grade  on  their  transcript.  

 

Personal,  Social  And  Health  Education      Grade  9  &  10  PSHE  at  YIS  is  the  Personal  Social  Health  Education  component  of  the  9th  &  10th  Grade  curriculum.  This  decision  making  and  values  based  course  occurs  weekly  and  addresses  a  wide  range  of  topics  including:  interpersonal  relationships,  personal  safety  and  injury  prevention,  nutrition,  substance  abuse,  and  human  growth  &  development.  These  topics  have  been  selected  due  to  their  relevance  to  the  age  level  of  the  students  and  the  societies  that  the  students  are  and  will  be  living  in.    While  we  strive  to  address  the  issues  that  often  arise  for  students  living  in  the  greater  Tokyo  area  and  into  university  beyond  this  community,  we  recognize  that  not  all  of  the  topics  will  be  equally  relevant  to  all  of  the  families  in  our  community.  

Please  take  an  opportunity  to  discuss  these  important  life  decisions  with  your  son  or  daughter  in  a  manner  that  is  consistent  with  your  home  cultures  and  values.  We  respect  and  include  all  of  the  perspectives  brought  into  the  PSHE  classroom.The  course  commences  with  an  introduction  to  Healthy  Living  and  is  flexible  enough  to  include  issues  that  arise  incidentally  throughout  the  year  as  well  as  topics  of  particular  student  interest.  

 

Page 10: YIS PE Handbook

The  PSHE  course  naturally  extends  from  the  knowledge  that  students  have  gained  in  the  Middle  School  at  YIS  and  is  intended  to  equip  students  for  the  next  stage  of  teenage  life  and  beyond.  A  friendly  and  enjoyable  approach  is  applied  to  the  teaching  and  learning  of  the  PSHE  course  and  care  and  sensitivity  are  considered  paramount  to  the  esteem  and  wellbeing  of  the  students.Collaborative  methods  as  well  as  individual  activities  are  utilized  in  PSHE  and  the  course  is  designed  to  be  dynamic  and  stimulating.  It  is  intended  that  students  will  move  into  the  upper  High  School  and  young  adulthood  with  the  skills  and  knowledge  to  maintain  balance  and  achieve  a  life  long  healthy  lifestyle.    Students  are  assessed  across  four  criteria.  

• Understanding  of  PSHE  topics  • Quality  of  individual  contribution  • Links  to  your  own  personal  perspective  • Organization  of  work  produced.  

 

Injury  and  Absences  From  PE  Injuries    All  Physical  Education  has  an  element  of  risk.  To  minimise  these  risks  programmes  are  planned  and  implemented  carefully,  and  risks  are  thoroughly  assessed  and  managed.  Accidents,  however,  inevitably  occur  from  time  to  time.  All  teachers  of  Physical  Education  at  YIS  are  qualified  in  First  Aid.  Injuries/sickness  during  school  hours  will  be  referred  to  the  school  nurse.  Injuries  out  of  school  will  be  assessed  by  PE  staff,  who  will  deal  with  the  injury  appropriately  and  communicate  with  the  medical  faculty  and  parents  if  there  is  any  concern.  In  the  event  of  an  injury  in  PE,  the  teacher  of  the  class  will  fill  in  the  YIS  Report  and  Injury  form  and  submit  to  the  school's  medical  faculty.  Follow  up  on  the  injury  will  be  conducted  by  the  school's  medical  faculty.    Absence  from  PE    A  student  who  is  unable  to  participate  in  lessons  due  to  injury  or  illness,  should  bring  a  note  from  home/their  doctor  explaining  the  reason.  They  

Page 11: YIS PE Handbook

will  remain  with  their  class  to  enable  them  to  keep  informed  of  the  work  in  progress.  Special  arrangements  may  be  made  in  the  event  of  long-­‐term  injuries  or  students  recovering  from  sickness.  For  sickness  occurring  during  school  hours  our  policy  is  in  line  with  the  parent  handbook  (page  26)  “In  the  case  of  illness  during  the  school  day,  the  student  must  first  report  to  the  school  nurse.  If  the  illness  necessitates  early  dismissal  to  return  home,  the  nurse  or  health  educator  will  first  contact  the  parents/guardians  and  then  issue  a  note  indicating  that  the  student  may  leave  campus.  This  should  then  be  given  to  the  receptionist  at  the  main  entrance  or  to  the  guard  at  the  playground  gate  upon  leaving  campus.  Only  the  nurse  can  make  the  decision  to  send  a  student  home  (for  illness).  No  student  will  be  dismissed  until  parental  contact  has  been  made.”    Policy  On  Periods    The  school  takes  a  sympathetic  approach  to  girls  starting  periods.  We  expect  all  girls  to  take  part  in  PE  during  their  periods,  but  appreciate  that  they  may  not  perform  to  their  usual  standards.  No  girl  is  therefore  excused  from  PE  during  periods.    Special  Medications,  Allergies,  Asthma  etc.    In  cases  where  students  require  specific  medications,  these  should  be  submitted  to  the  infirmary  office,  together  with  clear  instructions  (and  where  appropriate  brought  to  PE  when  needed,  ie  Asthma  Inhalers).  The  nurse  will  then  administer  the  medication  as  and  when  required.  Parents  should  inform  the  health  office  in  writing  concerning  children  who  need  to  take  medication  on  a  regular  basis,  or  who  have  any  special  medical  problem  such  as  diabetes,  asthma,  epilepsy,  allergies,  etc.  Upon  written  parental  request  and  permission,  medication  may  be  held  and  administered  by  the  school  nurse.  Likewise,  in  cases  where  students  require  specific  medications  on  a  temporary  basis,  these  should  be  submitted  to  the  school  nurse,  together  with  clear  instructions.  The  nurse  will  then  administer  the  medication  as  and  when  required.  This  

Page 12: YIS PE Handbook

information  will  be  communicated  to  the  PE  faculty  who  will  be  informed  of  any  medical  issues.    ‘Sun  Smart’  In  Summer  and  Spring  months,  the  heat  and  sun  can  be  quite  unbearable  in  Yokohama.  Therefore  it  is  very  important  your  child  is  equipped  with  a  sun  hat,  sunscreen  and  a  water  bottle.      

PE  Uniform  and  Valuables    Uniform  All  students  at  YIS  are  expected  to  wear  YIS  PE  uniform.  This  includes  YIS  T-­‐shirt,  YIS  shorts  and  in  winter  a  tracksuit  and  track  bottoms  (these  do  not  have  to  be  YIS  brand).  Uniform  is  available  to  purchase  from  the  School  store.  On  arrival  to  the  school,  students  will  be  placed  in  a  house  team  (Negishi,  Minami,  Higashi  or  Kita)  and  students  should  buy  this  house  colour.  Shoes  for  indoor  and  outdoor  PE  are  needed  with  the  exception  of  students  in  grades  K-­‐2.  Students  in  Grade  s  K-­‐2  need  only  one  pair  of  training  shoes.  Water  bottles  (and  hats  in  summer)  are  also  needed.  Students  often  forgetting  PE  uniform  will  be  reminded  in  a  letter  home.  Please  note  we  do  not  allow  students  to  wear  team  soccer,  basketball  and  baseball  shirts.      Showering  Students,  where  possible,  will  be  given  enough  time  to  take  a  shower.  We  strongly  recommend  that  students  bring  a  towel  to  take  a  shower,  particularly  in  the  hot  months.      Jewellry  and  Hair  For  safety  reasons,  students  should  not  wear  any  type  of  jewellry  for  PE.  This  includes  watches,  necklaces,  rings  and  ear  rings.  Students  with  long  hair  should  ensure  that  it  is  suitably  tied  back.      Lost  Property  All  sportswear  should  be  clearly  named.  Lost  sportswear  will  be  placed  in  the  PE  lost  property  in  the  entrance  to  the  gym  then  sent  to  the  main  school  lost  property  in  reception.      Valuables  

Page 13: YIS PE Handbook

NO  Valuables  should  be  brought  to  PE.  This  includes  Ipods,  phones,  large  sums  of  money  and  Jewellery  (which  should  not  be  worn  in  PE)  .If  they  are,  students  can  use  a  lockable  locker  in  the  gym  entrance  and  should  be  emptied  at  the  end  of  the  lesson.  Staff  will  not  to  be  responsible  for  lost  items.              

PE  Facilities    

YIS  has  one  Sports  Hall  with  a  full  range  of  equipment  and  changing  rooms.         Includes:     3  Badminton  Courts       1  Basketball  Court     1  Volleybal  Court       1  Netball  Court        Floodlit  turf  football  pitch  which  can  also  be  used  for  outdoor  games.    Dance/Fitness  Studio  complete  with  AV  equipment    The  school  also  makes  use  of  local  sports  facilities  such  as  YCAC,  Negishi  Park,  Naka  –Ku  sports  centre  and  Honmoku  Tennis  courts,  and  occasionally  the  local  area  around  school  for  running.    Where  students  go  off  campus  they  will  normally  be  transported  by  YIS  sponsored  buses  with  seatbelts.  Parents  of  Elementary  students  leaving  campus  will  be  contacted  for  their  permission.
