Playground I Physical Education

Playground

The physical health and development of our children is important to us, and we know that children will thrive and grow through the experiences of playground time. During these sessions, children explore, play and learn as well as engage in activities that enhance their gross motor skills, balance and coordination. As they run, jump, climb and swing, they strengthen their physical abilities while fostering their social interactions, imagination and problem-solving skills. Playground time builds a strong foundation for a healthy lifestyle and a lifelong love for active play.

Physical Education

Physical Education lessons are held on a weekly basis in addition to playground time. Through this specifically designed programme, children learn to co-operate in groups and to work in teams. They develop both fine and large motor skills, such as such as throwing, kicking and catching; practise moving in different ways such, as jumping, hopping and skipping; and increase their body awareness, including balance and moving in specific directions.
