Expected Standard: Learners will correctly create sports facilities and equipment, and properly manage and maintain them.
Specific Competence: Learners will perform different movement patterns, combine them, and do activities that improve how their body and mind work together. Learning Activities: Students will perform various movement patterns and formations (like semi-circle, V-formation, S-formation). They will combine different movement patterns (like bending, moving away from the body, moving towards the body). They will also practice parts of a training session (warm-up, main activity, cool-down) and do activities that help their mind and body coordination (like moving from place to place, moving parts of the body while staying in one place, balancing, and handling objects). Expected Standard: Learners will correctly perform movement patterns and formations, combine movement patterns, and carry out perceptual motor learning activities.
Specific Competence: Learners will perform activities that improve their health and fitness, including isotonic and isometric exercises. Learning Activities: Students will identify health-related fitness activities (like endurance, body composition, flexibility, muscle strength). They will discuss the benefits of these activities (physical, mental, emotional health, preventing diseases). They will perform various health-related activities (like jogging, tug-of-war, stretching routines). They will also describe and explain the benefits of isotonic activities (muscle contraction with joint movement, like walking, climbing stairs, push-ups) and isometric activities (muscle contraction without joint movement, like pushing a wall, holding a crouch position). They will then perform these isotonic and isometric exercises. Expected Standard: Learners will correctly perform health-related activities, isotonic activities, and isometric activities.
Specific Competence: Learners will perform tumbling and stunts safely, understanding the importance of gymnastics. Learning Activities: Students will discuss why gymnastics is important (improves flexibility, endurance, agility). They will apply safety rules for gymnastics (like spotting, tucking the chin for rolls, checking equipment, following instructions). They will then perform tumbling and stunts (like traveling movements, static holds, and rotational movements). Expected Standard: Learners will properly perform tumbling and stunts activities.
Specific Competence: Learners will perform step and rhythmic patterns in aerobics and play traditional games. Learning Activities: Students will demonstrate step and rhythmic patterns in aerobics (like rhythmic steps, leg and arm stretches, sidekicks, neck rolls). They will also perform traditional games (like jumping games, rhythmic games, manipulative games, breaking-through games). Expected Standard: Learners will accurately perform step and rhythmic patterns of aerobics and correctly perform traditional games.
Specific Competence: Learners will apply water safety practices and maintain good pool hygiene. Learning Activities: Students will create pretend water emergency situations. They will research and present on water safety topics (like strong currents, pool safety, water-borne sicknesses). They will show water safety practices (using life jackets, walking safely near water, good hygiene, knowing pool depth, life-saving actions like breathing). They will also practice pool hygiene (avoiding spitting, showering before swimming, not urinating or defecating in the pool) and discuss how to keep pools clean and well-maintained. Expected Standard: Learners will correctly apply water safety practices and effectively practice pool hygiene.
Specific Competence: Learners will perform basic skills in various sports, including athletics, football, netball, chess, draught, and badminton. Learning Activities: Students will perform skills in track events (like sprints, middle-distance running, relays). They will perform basic skills in Football and Netball (like dribbling, shooting, catching, passing, marking). They will perform basic skills in Chess and Draught (like castling, en passant, basic algebraic notation). They will also perform basic skills in Badminton (like gripping the racquet, different strokes, footwork). Expected Standard: Learners will properly perform skills in track events, correctly perform skills in Football and Netball, correctly perform skills in Chess and Draught, and correctly perform skills in Badminton.
Specific Competence: Learners will understand and analyze the human skeletal system. Learning Activities: Students will identify the main parts of the human skeletal system (axial skeleton for the core, appendicular skeleton for limbs) and their jobs. They will also identify and examine different types of joints (freely movable, slightly movable, immovable). Expected Standard: Learners will correctly analyze the human skeletal system.
Specific Competence: Learners will show how forces and speed work in sports activities. Learning Activities: Students will demonstrate different forces in sports (like friction, gravity, weight). They will calculate simple forces related to sports activities (using the formula F=ma or F=mg, where F is force, m is mass, a is acceleration, and g is gravity). They will also demonstrate speed in sports activities (like moving objects) and calculate speed related to sports activities (using the formula S=distance/time). Expected Standard: Learners will correctly illustrate forces and speed in sporting activities.
Specific Competence: Learners will analyze the roles of business in sports and understand different parts of the sports industry. Learning Activities: Students will discuss sports entrepreneurship, which is starting and running a business in sports.
