How to Use These Resources
Curriculum Overview
The expectations for Grades 5 build on students’ experiences in the primary grades and further develop the knowledge and skills they need for physical and health literacy with an emphasis on building students’ understanding of themselves in relation to others.
Learners develop an understanding of the factors that contribute to their physical and mental health and the health of others in their family and community, but with a particular focus on choices and decisions connected to their personal health with frequent opportunities to question, integrate, analyse, and apply information. Students continue to develop their locomotor and fine motor skills and develop a greater ability to combine motor skills in sequence, examining how to relate these concepts and principles to their movement skills in order to improve the quality of movement and further develop their sense of self and their identity as competent movers.
The expectations for health and physical education are organized into four distinct but related strands:
- Social-Emotional Learning Skills
- Active Living
- Movement Competence: Skills, Concepts, and Strategies
- Healthy Living

- Think about how you throw a piece of sporting equipment such as a ball. What do you need to do to throw faster? When catching an object, how do you adjust for different speeds?
