Physical Literacy

Hey Students and Parents!

Mind map created on bubble.us

Physical Literacy is the guiding force of the physical education curriculum. By the end of this year, you all will be physical literate! This means you will be confident and competent movers, you will understand movement and be comfortable in all sorts of movement situations. 

Physical Literacy emphasizes the benefit of transferable skills rather than sport specific skills. Our first unit is invasion games. These are games with an offence and a defence. As you can see on the course calendar we will be playing soccer and basketball. 

The focus of these sports will be on ball manipulation and movement off the ball skills. We will move into hockey and football, focusing on the same two skills. The unit will conclude with an Olympic competition (day tournament of all four sports!) 

Please comment below how much experience you have in playing games that have an offence and defence. 

Live Active,

Miss Steward
