National Curriculum - Physical Education Secondary section
This is a site with interesting and varied PE activities for you to try with your Key Stage 1 or 2 class. Some of the games you may already use, some of them you may have to adapt to suit your children but, with comprehensive instructions and assessment opportunities highlighted, it's a site that is worth a visit if you want to bring some new ideas to your PE lessons.
This is a useful resource for developing basic physical skills and concepts for 5- to 7-year olds with fun games, contributed by (mostly US) teachers. Each PE activity includes the task, concept, purpose, suggested age range, materials needed and a description.

Education Lesson Plans
Provides more than 70 different lesson ideas covering a wide variety of activities such as ball skills, bionic ball, team handball, throw and catch, aerobic softball, etc. This is a great site if you are short of ideas for lesson plans, or wondering what you can offer to Year 8 first thing Monday morning! Definitely a teacher's resource.

It provides tailored health information and appropriate links to other websites, within the framework of the 'Our Healthier Nation' priority areas. National Curriculum health education and PHSE learning outcomes are set out for sun safety, smoking, physical activity, healthy eating, alcohol, accidents and mental health. The 'Mind, Body and Soul' section is aimed specifically at Key Stage 4 students.

The public side of this site contains a wide range of information and statistics on a variety of health-related topics. Areas covered include drugs, smoking, cancer, diet, alcohol and physical activity. It also provides access to health-related posters and a virtual drugs warehouse - a resource aimed at young people providing details of different types of drugs, as well as their legal and health implications. This is suitable for Key Stages 3 and 4 and would support project work in the older age group.
