The physical education curriculum involves a core of physical fitness activities and sports, designed to develop strength, agility, balance, coordination, flexibility, muscular endurance and posture.
The curriculum includes a broad scope of physical activities that promote well-rounded physical, social-emotional and intellectual development. It will also cover the basic movements skills (skipping, hoping, jumping, sliding, galloping, throwing, kicking…) along with complex movements skills and how to apply them during games and sport performance.
