PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
Each week students develop sports related skills and maintain fitness with the help of the physical education specialist and the classroom teacher. During this time students will participate in activities designed to introduce sport-specific skills, as well as refining fundamental skills in skipping, throwing, catching and jumping. Students are expected to follow the rules of the games, demonstrate cooperative team effort, and sustain physical activity. Additionally, specific health topics will be introduced.

• acquiring and maintaining physical fitness
