Philosophy for Primary School Physical Education
Indian Hill Primary physical education provides the children in grades kindergarten through grade two with experiences which allow them to mature and progress physically, socially, and emotionally at an age appropriate and individual rate.

The goals and purpose of the primary physical education curriculum are to afford each child the opportunity to practice, understand, and increase his/her awareness of their body, its abilities, how it functions, and how it responds to external stimuli in the physical education setting.

The primary locomotion and non-locomotion skills are introduced at the kindergarten level and built upon as well as reinforced through first and second grades.  Age appropriate catching, striking, and throwing skills are also introduced at the kindergarten level and reinforced through the first and second grade years.

The skills that follow have been in place in the Scope and Sequence Curriculum and have been modified and adapted to allow for appropriate and meaningful experiences for students while at the primary level.  Concepts and terms have also been added to enhance the children’s understanding of what is being taught.
