Healthy Body, Active Lifestyle
The Physical and Heath Education Department aims to cultivate active and responsible students by developing their knowledge, skills, confidence and values that contribute to a healthy and physically active lifestyle.
The lower primary level for physical education focuses on:
- Fundamental Movements
- Locomotor: Movements that take a person from place to place (e.g. walk, run, hop, jump, leap, gallop, skip, slide)
- Non-locomotor: Movements performed around the axis of the body (e.g. bend, stretch, twist, turn, push, pull, raise, lower, shake)
- Manipulative: Movements where a person controls an object with hands or feet (e.g. toss, catch, throw, kick, strike)
- Educational Gymnastics
These develops students’ psychomotor skills, control and coordination. They lay the foundations for further learning of more advanced psychomotor skills, sports and games.
