Overview of Physical Education
Welcome to the wonderful world of Physical Education at Bryden Elementary School. Physical Education is the phase of your child's education that contributes, primarily through movement experiences, to the total growth and development of each child. The first goal of our Physical education experience is to have each child develop a competency in physical skills concentrating on locomotor skills (i.e.- running, walking, skipping, galloping, hopping), and manipulative skills (i.e.- striking, catching kicking, throwing, rolling). These skills will be applied during games, dance, challenges and educational gymnastics. The second goal is to incorporate fitness into each and every unit so that fitness becomes a part of the child's everyday life. A healthy active child becomes a healthy active adult. The third goal is to have each child understand the value of being physically active. Each child, through physical activity, could develop a positive self image, acquire social skills needed to interact with other children and learn how being active can relieve tension and stress. Physical Education is a fun, active learning experience. We will juggle, roll, jump, dance, run, throw, hop, gallop, bend, twist, dodge, catch, push, pull, carry, lift, bounce and lots and lots more! We work very hard at creating a cooperative environment where we help each other and work as a team. We play for fun and everyone is a winner!
