PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT



Each week students develop sports related skills and maintain fitness with the help of the physical education specialist and the classroom teacher. During this time, students will participate in activities designed to introduce sport-specific skills, as well as refining such fundamental skills as skipping, throwing, catching and jumping.
