Physical education is a required area of study at Valley View Schoold’s core curriculum.
The provincial requirement for Grades K-6 Physical Education is a minimum of 75 minutes of instruction per week or 90 minutes per 6-day cycle for the entire school year in order to provide opportunities for students to develop positive attitudes toward active living, and gain self-confidence as skilful movers, and to promote personal, social, cultural, and environmental growth and appreciation.

Quality physical education, as part of the entire learning experience concerned with educating the whole person, will support students in developing a solid foundation for a balanced life.

This curriculum provides the intended learning outcomes that Grades K-6 students are expected to achieve in physical education by the end of each year. Indicators are included to provide the breadth and depth of learning required by the outcomes. This curriculum also provides an introduction to pedagogical understandings necessary for the effective teaching of physical education.

Broad Areas of Learning

Lifelong Learners:
Students who are engaged in constructing and applying physical education knowledge naturally build the ability to continue learning in this area of study. Throughout their study of physical education, students will develop a holistic balance in the attitudes, understandings, skills, tactics, and strategies necessary to learn in various movement activity settings.
Students will develop skills in transferring this learning to a variety of contexts which will support them as lifelong learners.

Sense of Self, Community, and Place:
In physical education students will experience multiple opportunities to grow in all aspects of their lives, while learning to share these understandings as they support others in achieving a balanced self.
In striving for this balance, students will be better able to contribute to the development of healthy individuals, families, and communities.

Engaged Citizens:
In physical education students will experience opportunities to initiate, plan for, and lead positive change that will enhance the personal wellbeing of self and others. Students will reflect on the various influences that affect decisions and engage in opportunities to contribute to social, cultural, and environmental activities that will benefit all citizens.

Developing Social Responsibility:
People demonstrate social responsibility when they positively contribute to their physical, social, and cultural environments. This requires the ability to participate with others in accomplishing common goals.
This competency is achieved through using moral reasoning processes, engaging in communitarian thinking and dialogue, and taking social action.

In physical education, students will develop personal skills to support socially responsible behaviour that is considerate of others and respectful of individual differences.
