Physical Education

November 13, 2024

Physical Education programs are essential in teaching children movement skills. In October, students focused on developing basic movement skills and applying them in various simple games and activities, including soccer and low organized games. Alongside our regular Physical Education program, students also took part in a soccer tournament and the annual Terry Fox School Run. In November, students will continue to practice and explore movement skills, with a focus on personal fitness, striking skills in simple games, and volleyball for grades 4 to 6. 

CLUB ACTIVITIES:

Mulvey grade 5 & 6 students participated in the Winnipeg School Division Central District Soccer Tournament held at Tec Voc High School on October 2 & 8, 2024. Twenty-five students participated in the tournament.

Mulvey School is hosting the 2024 Fall Todd MacCulloch Hoop School Program in collaboration with Basketball Manitoba. This program is aiming to teach the fundamental skills of basketball. The 8-week program is scheduled every Friday from 3:30 – 5:00 pm, running from October 18 to November 29, 2024.

Terry Fox School Run: Many thanks to all our students and staff for their contributions to the success of our school’s Terry Fox Run and Fundraising effort. We have reached our goal of $1000.00 for our Terry Fox School Run. As part of our fundraising activity Mulvey students have collectively completed a total of 920 laps in the gym, which is equivalent to 46 kms during their scheduled Phys-Ed classes, from September 16 to October 4, 2024, to honor Terry’s legacy. In every Phys-Ed class, students, on average completed 10 LAPS, which is equivalent to 50 meters.

Mulvey School Physical Education Program Overview 

2024 – 2025 School Year 

Introduction 

Acquisition of movement skills is a key factor for students choosing to lead physically active and healthy lifestyles. Students are less likely to participate in physical activities and recreational sport if they have not learned the skills or experienced success in applying them. The fundamental movement skills that we teach our students in our program are the foundation or building blocks of an active lifestyle during adolescence. 

Physical Education Learning Outcomes Explanation 

Mulvey School Physical Education Program is based on the Manitoba Curriculum Framework of outcomes for Active Healthy Lifestyles. 

The aim of the program is to provide students with planned and balanced programming to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for physically active and healthy lifestyles. The vision is physically active and healthy lifestyles for all students.

Curriculum content is organised within the following five learning outcomes: 

  • Movement: The student will demonstrate competency in selected movement skills and learning experiences. 

  • Fitness Management: The student will develop physical activity habits, personal fitness and preparing them for lifelong physical activity and well-being.
