Curriculum Standards:
- A1.1 apply skills that help them identify and manage emotions as they participate in learning experiences in health and physical education, in order to improve their ability to express their own feelings and understand and respond to the feelings of others
- A1.4 apply skills that help them build relationships, develop empathy, and communicate with others as they participate in learning experiences in health and physical education, in order to support healthy relationships, a sense of belonging, and respect for diversity
- A1.6 apply skills that help them think critically and creatively as they participate in learning experiences in health and physical education, in order to support making connections, analysing, evaluating, problem solving, and decision making
- B1.1 actively participate in a wide variety of program activities (e.g., lead-up games, recreational activities, fitness activities, dance), according to their capabilities, while applying behaviours that enhance their readiness and ability to take part
- B1.2 demonstrate an understanding of factors that contribute to their personal enjoyment of being active as they participate in a wide variety of individual and small-group activities and lead-up games
- B1.3 describe factors that motivate them to participate in physical activity every day, at school and during leisure time, and that influence their choice of activities
- C1.1 perform smooth transfers of weight in relation to others and equipment in a variety of situations involving static and dynamic balance (e.g., shift weight smoothly during hip hop dancing; perform twists and balances on a stability ball; with a partner, use resistance [pushing] and counter-tension [pulling] by shifting and adjusting their weight and position to create a stable partner balance; move smoothly from a downward dog pose in yoga to a standing pose) [A1.4 Relationships, 1.5 Self ]
- C1.2 perform a wide variety of locomotor movements, in combination, at different speeds, in different directions, and using different pathways, while moving around others and/or equipment (e.g., wheel their wheelchair around objects and at different speeds in a fitness circuit; create a developmental gymnastics sequence with a partner that uses a range of movements and shows changes in speed, level, and formation) [A1.4 Relationships, 1.5 Self ]
- C1.3 send and receive a variety of objects (e.g., rubber chickens, rings, beanbags, soft foam balls, discs, tennis balls, utility balls), adjusting for speed and distance, while applying basic principles of movement (e.g., use different amounts of force to send an object to a teammate, with an awareness of the weight of the object thrown and the force of its impact when the teammate receives it, depending on relative positions and type of object being thrown, batted, or kicked; send an object through a hoop, into a bucket, to a target on a wall, to a specific spot on the other side of a net, to a partner; bend knees, keeping arms out and head up in a ready position to prepare to receive an object; use the body to absorb an object that is sent with greater force; follow through in the direction of the target to improve aim and accuracy) [A1.1 Emotions, 1.4 Relationships, 1.5 Self ]
- C1.4 retain objects in a variety of situations while travelling in different pathways and at different speeds in relation to others and equipment (e.g., run a “down and out” pattern, catch the football, then use “dekes” [deceptive manoeuvres, typically involving changes in direction] to retain the ball; stickhandle a felt disc slowly and then quickly while keeping their head up) [A1.3 Motivation, 1.4 Relationships, 1.5 Self ]
- C2.1 demonstrate an understanding of the basic components of physical activities (e.g., movement skills, game structures, basic rules and guidelines, conventions of fair play and etiquette), and apply this understanding as they participate in a variety of physical activities (e.g., lead-up games such as four-on-four rubber-chicken keep-away, basketball shooting games, and two-base softball; recreational activities such as mini-triathlons, hiking, skipping rope, and cooperative games; fitness activities such as t’ai chi, activities with exercise bands and exercise balls, and personal fitness challenges; dance activities such as cultural dance, creative movement, and jazz steps) [A1.5 Self, 1.6 Thinking]
- C2.2 describe common features of specific categories of physical activities (e.g., individual, target, net/wall, striking/fielding, territory), and describe strategies that they found effective while participating in a variety of physical activities in different categories [A1.6 Thinking]
- C2.3 apply a variety of tactical solutions to increase their chances of success as they participate in physical activities (e.g., individual activities: find a comfortable pace when running, wheeling a wheelchair, or speed-walking; work with a partner to develop different ways of using an exercise ball to improve core strength; target activities: in a game like bocce, hit opponents’ balls out of the way in order to make space for their own ball closer to the target; net/wall activities: assume a position of readiness to move to receive an object; practise sending the ball to specific parts of the opposite court; striking/fielding activities: throw the ball promptly to teammates after retrieving it to stop opponents from scoring; territory activities: defend territory by anticipating an opponent’s actions; bounce a utility ball at different heights to keep it from an opponent in a keep-away game; throw a disc to a stationary partner, then move down the field to receive a return pass) [A1.2 Coping, 1.4 Relationships, 1.6 Thinking]*
