Sport and exercise

At our school, sport and exercise do not only take place in physical education, but are an integral part of the lesson structure ("moving lessons") as well as everyday school life ("moving breaks").

Physical education includes the promotion of motor skills as well as promotion in the area of perception, in particular body and space perception. The spectrum of motor skills development ranges from spontaneous movement games to the development of individual sport-specific techniques and athletic performance.

 

Goals and content

The goals and content of physical education are based on the school's own catalog of "motor skills", the "curriculum for the specialization of intellectual development, Bavaria" and, in particular, the "framework for school sports" in which goals and content are listed as follows:

Spatial conditions at our school

Physical education takes place once a week in the Gym instead, which is just big enough and average equipped for our circumstances. Each class has one teaching block (2 hours) per week. This usually takes place within the level or across levels in cooperation.

A neighbor sports ground can be used as a training ground for athletics and football.

The urban one Indoor swimming pool as well as that Teaching pool The Claudius School are available for swimming lessons, so that each class can go swimming once a week (with the school's own bus).

School-owned events and events

It takes place once a year in cooperation with the Robert-Brauner Förderschule Sports festival in the "Mondpalast-Arena" (formerly "Stadion Wanne Süd") and a Swimproof in the "Südpool" in Herne. These festivals offer all students space for movement, play and fun, at the same time they enable a comparative measurement of strengths, for example in the form of swimming competitions, three-way competitions in athletics and relay competitions.

Our school also organizes one once a year Soccer tournament, to which football teams from special schools in the region are cordially invited. Our soccer team also takes part in various tournaments and friendly matches in the area.
