How to Use These Resources
Curriculum Overview
In grade 7, there is an emphasis on developing relationship skills with a focus on recognizing and coping with stress and challenges in positive ways, to build resilience and an attitude of positive motivation while developing self-awareness and self-confidence in order to nurture a sense of identity and belonging.
Students expand their knowledge of factors that motivate people to be physically active, including understanding connections between physical and mental health, and of ways to motivate others. A more detailed understanding of physical fitness activities that includes factors affecting fitness and the application of training principles to the enhancement of both health-related and skill-related fitness are explored. The work on manipulation skills (throwing, catching, and retaining) emphasizes the use of these skills in combination and in relation to external stimuli in the playing area (e.g., other students, equipment, boundaries). The study of personal safety and injury prevention expands to include situations that students may encounter as they become more independent and active in a wider variety of situations and environments, including online and virtual environments. Students will focus on making connections between their own health and the physical and mental health and well-being of those around them.
The expectations for health and physical education are organized into four distinct but related strands:
- Social-Emotional Learning Skills
- Healthy Living
- Movement Competence: Skills, Concepts, and Strategies
- Active Living
