Welcome to Junior High ESS Physical Education, home of the Skyhawks! My goal is to provide a quality physical education program that focuses on skill development and sport experience while building knowledge and promoting attitudes that support a healthy and active lifestyle.
We will participate in a variety of different activites from traditional and non-traditional games and sports, to gymnastics and outdoor activities. Fair play and compassion for others will be discussed and will be of utmost importance.
My hope is to promote lifelong fitness while developing life skills and develop the attitudes and behaviours necessary for good citizenship.
In order to support the development of physically literate learners, the physical education curriculum focuses on:
Movement - fundamental skills, combinations, cooperative activities, games, rhythmic movement, educational gymnastics, alternative activities
Cognition- knowledge, beliefs, values, morals, decision-making, self-regulation and awareness, healthy living, motivation
Affect - social well-being, emotional well-being, environmental health
Awareness - personal health and the value of being active for life
