Curriculum Overview
The health and physical education program for Grade 3 focuses on the
foundational knowledge and skills that students will need in order to support mental health and well-being, develop physical and health literacy, and acquire the commitment and capacity to lead healthy, active lives. Through participating in health and physical education in the classroom and gymnasium, out of doors, in schoolyards and school gardens, and in the community, students learn to make healthy active living a part of everyday life.
The expectations for health and physical education are organized into four distinct but related strands:
- Social-Emotional Learning Skills
- Active Living
- Movement Competence: Skills, Concepts, and Strategies
- Healthy Living
