The nice outdoor areas are used as much as possible and the inside space is used very creatively to offer as many physical education experiences as possible. Floor hockey is a huge favorite among the students, and our room actually lends itself well to this activity. Students have opportunities to learn about and participate at some level in a variety of games and sports, but the real emphasis of the program is physical fitness and lifelong activities. The current trend in all physical education programs is to encourage healthy, active lifestyles which include lots of physical activity. The goal of the program is not only to have fun while making strong, healthy bodies, but also to enhance learning.
Research shows that the old adage 'healthy body - healthy mind' is true indeed.
