Make decisions about and apply, with guidance, strategies (including fitness appraisals) and principles related to fitness improvement to determine own level of health-related fitness (cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular endurance, and muscular strength) and to positively affect own level of health-related fitness.

Demonstrate an understanding of the body systems (circulatory, respiratory, and muscular) that are directly related to, and affected by, the development of the health-related components of fitness (cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition).

Select and apply performance cues to refine and combine locomotor skills into increasingly complex movement skills as applicable to lead-up games and body management activities including dance and educational gymnastics, and others such as yoga, skipping, aerobics, martial arts, and track and field.

Apply, with guidance, how to skillfully perform locomotor skills while participating in movement activities, including at a:

• utilization level of skill when:
  • rolling backward.

Select and apply performance cues to combine and refine non-locomotor skills:

• balancing
• jumping and landing on the spot on feet and hands
• rotating on the spot

into increasingly complex movement skills while participating in body management activities (including dance and educational gymnastics, as well as others such as yoga, skipping, aerobics, martial arts, and track and field).

Explore, express, and apply, with guidance, a variety of ways to skillfully move objects while participating in movement activities, including at a:

• utilization level of skill when:
  • hand dribbling
  • foot dribbling
  • striking objects with hands and/or short-handled implements (racquets and paddles)
• control level of skill when:
  • volleying (to send an object in the air before it comes to rest)
  • striking objects with long-handled implements (bats, golf clubs, hockey sticks)
• progressing-towards-control level of skill when:
  • punting.

Select and apply performance cues to combine and refine manipulative (sending, receiving, and accompanying objects) skills in increasingly complex movement activities such as lead-up games, including:

• throwing
• catching (gathering, collecting)
• kicking.

Refine the application of movement variables, movement concepts, and performance cues to improve personal performance and to provide feedback to others.

and refine selected movement skills, tactics, and strategies while participating in:

• low-organizational, inventive, and cooperative games (e.g., tag games, relay race, prisoner's base)
• small-sided and lead-up target games (e.g., bowling, curling, golf, bocce ball)
• small-sided and lead-up striking/fielding games (e.g., long ball, kick ball, softball)
• small-sided and lead-up invasion/territorial games (e.g., two-on-two, three-on-three games using skills from games such as soccer, basketball, and soft lacrosse)
• alternate environment activities (e.g., hiking, aquatics, skating, snowshoeing, orienteering, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, cycling, tracking).

Apply tactics, strategies, and rules necessary for safe and inclusive involvement in movement activities, including but not limited to co-operative and competitive lead-up games as well as alternate environment activities, when alone and with others.

Incorporate safe practices (e.g., warm-up, cool-down, safe stretching, protective responses, proper attire, well-maintained equipment) for the prevention of injury and investigate basic first aid associated with care of illness and injury resulting from participation in movement activities both in and out of physical education class.

Create and apply a personal understanding of what it means to be a positive, inclusive team member who makes a commitment towards showing team spirit and the ideals of fair play.

Examine and communicate the contributions, both historically and currently, that the First Nations and Métis, as well as other cultures of our province, have made to the development of games, sports, and other movement activities.
