How much PE does your KS2 child do a week?

[MilkRunningOutAgain]

I'm getting concerned about how little PE the school provides. dS in yr 5 reports 20 minutes indoor PE, which is country dancing and hardly energetic the way it's taught, this week and 25 minutes last week. No outdoor PE at all. When you consider that there is no afternoon break to run around either, I'm starting to understand why he comes out of school desperate to run around.

How much PE do other schools provide?

we are in Scotland but dd (9) has 2 hours of scheduled PE per week. DS (6) also has 2 hours.

dd did have swimming as well in the first term of P5 but it only lasts 12 weeks.

In NW England, half an hour per week. I prefer the focus to be on other stuff but then my DS isn't particularly active.

half an hour a week is rubbish! DS has been doing yoga and gymnastics this week at PE

Wednesday afternoon 1.30-3.30 is PE afternoon for my Year 3 DS. They tend to do 45 minutes inside and 45 outside with time for changing before and drink between. (they let the kids come home in PE kit if the parents let them)

yr 6 dd does 1 afternoon per week even though some parents complain they are out in the cold

yr 4 dd does 1 hr per week, alternating indoor and outdoor, and swimming lesson with school on fridays

1 hour of outdoor games, 1 hour of PE, (gym/dance/excercises) 30 mins swimming.

My DC who are yr 8,6 & 5 do two 1 hour lessons a week. Between them this term they are doing football, hockey gymnastics and dance.

My yr 3 is doing 1 hour of indoor pe and 30 minutes of swimming per week this term but normally it would be two 1 hour sessions per week. Indoors this time of year but when the weather gets drier both lessons will be outside.

Yr4: two double lessons a week, plus after school clubs available (some staff run and free; ballet and gymnastics for a charge as they bring in a specialist).

Well its a 1 hr slot but by the time they are undressed and dressed again after I am guessing its about half hr.

Both dcs do two sessions (one hour long each) per week, one indoor and one outdoor.

Key stage 2 also get sent outside for a runaround randomly in the afternoons when the teacher feels it would be beneficial.

DD is Yr 1, but in a mixed class with Yr2 and Yr3 (Yr3 being KS2, obviously) kids. They do 2x1hr of PE every week, plus enrichment on Friday 1-3pm. Enrichment activities include football (taught by an ex-professional international and coach) and Forest Schools, which involve a lot of outdoor work. KS2 children also do swimming once a week.

DD says they are doing hockey twice a week during PE at the moment. I am trying not to imagine my 5yr old and very accident prone child and her classmates with a bunch of hockey sticks and hockey balls!

DS (yr3) has two 45 minute lessons a week and one of those is done by an external sports company who coach in football, hockey and get the kids playing dodgeball etc...

He also does the G&T PE (another 45 minute session per week) which out of 60 kids in the year there are 8 that do it.

Bunnyjo - DS split his chin open in a hockey lesson a few weeks ago, blood everywhere and I had to get him and take him to hosp

Oh yes and I forgot, he does multi sports after school for an hour a week (done with the same external coach).

Argh! Don't tell me that, simpson! DD is very articulate and is academically ahead of her peers (working at 2b/a level now in Yr1), but is a late August born so very young and physically less able. The HT jokes that she has her own accident book for DD... It's only going to end in disaster, isn't it?

DS is an Aug born birthday too

Maybe it's something that summer borns do (be clumsy!!)

DS (Y4) has 2 hours of scheduled PE but that includes changing.
1 hour is indoors and 1 hour outdoors. They do different sports/activities each half term.

They are supposed to have two hours a week, including changing time.

Our PE is designed in blocks, so this half term might be gymnastics, then after half term it might be invasion games, hockey, or dance.
Two slots in the hall, around 50 mins each.

2, 45 min lessons per week, one outdoor, one indoor and swimming every week for half an hour. ( Yr3 and Yr r) parents complain about the outdoor one, but I think its great they are getting fresh air and excersize, and they can wear tracksuits etc to keep warm.

2 x 45min here too - one outdoor , one indoor - but it is still not enough for 2 healthy girls - they do a further 2 hours of karate, and one hour fitness/circuit training a week. Only one is in KS2 - Y6 now - the other Y7 where they get 2 hours a week - or rather 3 one week, one the next (timetable is run over a fortnight..)

I teach PE and our KS2 have 50 mins PE and 90 mins games every week and swimming once a fortnight. Outside whenever possible, but will depend on activity being covered in that block.

Oh, and our school do lots of other clubs before and after school, and also lunchtimes, most are run by private providers. So DS1 (year 4) also does football, athletics, and multi sports at school. Then he does another 2 hours football per week, 1 hour of swimming, and around 3 hours of tennis. I think at that age they seem to need a huge amount of exercise!
