Physical Education

Students receive instruction in physical education daily. The focus remains on games and activities that promote healthy exercise, cooperative play, and good sportsmanship, with basic locomotor movements and spatial awareness reinforced through throwing, catching, kicking, striking, and balance and tumbling. Grade 4 students also begin to play games that lead up to various team sports. Basic concepts of physical fitness and healthy living continue to be stressed; and health education is periodically incorporated into the curriculum.
