These are all the fundamental locomotor movement, non-locomotor movement, and manipulative skills (the ABCs of Physical Literacy). This strand also includes body and space awareness; stability and balance; and creative movement as it applies to dance and rhythm concepts.
These are sequential game sense strategies that follow the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) model.
Concepts include general cardiovascular and respiratory system knowledge as well as basic bone and musculature names. A major component of this strand is cooperative play and teamwork skills (and goal setting for grades 4-5). This strand also includes a social emotional component of recognizing and displaying appropriate emotions during play as well as acting safely and respectfully during a wide variety of physical activities.
The goal of this strand is for students to gain the skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for lifelong participation in a healthy, active, and safe lifestyle. The NB Phys Ed Curriculum specifically states that the aim of the Well-Being strand is for students to learn to: "use appropriate social skills when interacting with others in a range of situations; learn to communicate and manage their feelings, emotions, and opinions; develop positive attitudes and behaviours in order to meet challenges; learn to assess and manage risk; develop an understanding of the human body and movement as well as learn about the many benefits of physical activity."
There are many misconceptions about the Well-Being strand in the Physical Education. It is NOT a medical examination of the general health of your child nor does it reflect the hygiene of your student.
