Physical Education 1
Health-related Fitness Build a repertoire of strategies, with guidance, for developing components of health-related fitness, including cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular endurance, and muscular strength.
Active Living Examine and express what it means to live actively each day and the personal benefits of being active.
Locomotor Skills Explore, express, and apply, with guidance, a variety of ways to skillfully move the body through space, including at a: control level of skill when: walking running jumping forward and landing jumping sideways and landing progressing-towards-control level of skill when: jumping backward and landing hopping (body moves on one foot as in right foot to right foot) skipping (combines a step and a hop) leaping (body ‘takes off’ from one foot, propels through air for distance, then lands on the opposite foot) sliding (one foot steps and the other moves to meet the first foot, “step-close”) galloping (one foot steps, body propels upward, other foot moves to meet the first foot) rolling forward (see note) rolling sideways.
Explore, express, and apply, with guidance, a variety of ways to skillfully move the body on the spot, including at a:
- control level of skill when:
- balancing
- jumping on the spot
- progressing-towards-control level of skill when:
- landing on hands from kneeling position
- rotating on the spot
Explore, express, and apply, with guidance, a variety of ways to skillfully move objects, including at a progressing-towards-control level when:
- throwing (rolling)
- catching (collecting, gathering)
- kicking.
Apply an understanding of how to vary the movement of the body while performing locomotor, non-locomotor, and manipulative skills through changes in:
- space (personal space, general space, levels, directions, pathways)
- effort (force, time/speed)
- relationships (individually and with objects).
Explore and demonstrate rhythmical movement in response to different rhythms (e.g., quick, slow, sharp, soft) and dance patterns, using locomotor skills and non-locomotor skills.
Build a repertoire of strategies and skills, with guidance, for and through active participation in a variety of movement activities including:
- low-organizational games involving travelling (e.g., tag games, follow-the-leader, hopscotch, long-rope skipping)
- target games (e.g., ring or hoop toss, bowling, bocce ball)
- alternate environment activities and games (e.g., snowsnakes, hiking, skating, snowshoeing, aquatics, cycling, tobogganing, cross-country skiing).
Demonstrate, with little or no support, safe and cooperative behaviours while participating in physical education activities.
Communicate and demonstrate an understanding of self-control, a consideration for others, and a respect for differences among people (e.g., abilities, interests, likes and dislikes, gender, culture) while participating in physical education settings.
