This unit offers students the opportunity to inquire into different games and activities that involve key skills such as striking, throwing, catching, fielding, and teamwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Through a concept-based approach, students will develop their physical abilities, while also building on important Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills such as communication, collaboration, and self-management. By engaging in fun and inclusive games like modified cricket, baseball, kickball, and other bat-and-ball activities, students are learning how to strategize, take turns, and respect roles within a team setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As IB learners, students are encouraged to be risk-takers, trying new skills with confidence, and reflective thinking about how they can improve their personal performance and contribute positively to group activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This unit also offers wonderful opportunities for students to make real-world connections\u2014understanding how rules, roles, and strategies apply not only in games, but also in everyday social interactions and teamwork beyond the PE space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We encourage you to speak with your child about what they are learning, and celebrate their efforts to be active, balanced, and principled learners through physical activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Dear Parents, We are excited to share that our Primary students across Grades 1 to 6 have begun exploring a new unit in Physical Education: Striking and Fielding.
