Early Years

For the first 5-6 weeks of school students will learn routines and behavioural expectations in PE class. Children will be exploring body and spacial awareness, loco motor and non-loco motor skills, directions, pathways, levels, and tempos. Very important social skills such as following directions, sharing, cooperating and taking turns will be addressed in PE class during this unit.

Parachute play is fun and it provides all children opportunities to participate successfully as part of a large group activity. The lessons in Parachute Play integrate previously learned non-locomotor and locomotor skills and introduce new ways to practice creative imagery and enhance rhythm and timing. Moving a large parachute encourages cooperative behaviour among children while improving cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength, flexibility, and balance.

Super Stunts are important components of a child’s physical activity experience. Super Stunts are primarily designed to increase abilities such as coordination, flexibility, agility, and strength. This unit include animal movements, single-leg balances, line walking, creative stunts, and simple partner activities – which also foster cooperation and trust.
